Background

This transmittal removes former Hearings, Appeals and Litigation Law (HALLEX) manual sections I-3-9-40 and I-3-9-60 and adds new HALLEX sections I-3-9-90 and I-3-9-92. This move was necessary due to an ongoing reorganization of HALLEX Volume 1 Division 3. We also made minor updates to the provisions consistent with our current procedures regarding extensions of time to file a civil action.
