§ 23-945 — Petition for hearing on validity of order; procedure; substitution of order

A. Any employer or other person interested in or affected by an order of the commission may petition for a hearing on the reasonableness and lawfulness of such order by a verified petition filed with the commission. The petition shall set forth specifically and in detail the order upon which a hearing is desired, the reasons why the order is unreasonable or unlawful and the issue to be considered by the commission on the hearing. Objections other than those set forth in the petition are deemed finally waived.

B. Upon receipt of the petition, if the issue raised in the petition has theretofore been adequately considered, the commission shall confirm, without hearing, its previous determination. If a hearing is necessary to determine the issue raised, the commission shall order a hearing thereon at such time as it prescribes. Notice of the time and place of hearing shall be given the petitioner and such other persons as the commission finds directly interested in the decision.

C. Upon the hearing, if it is found that the order complained of is unlawful or unreasonable, the commission shall substitute therefor a reasonable and lawful order, and may grant further time reasonably necessary for compliance with its order.
