- a) The Notice of Hearing may be amended at any time. An Amended Notice of Hearing may be filed in the same manner as a Notice of Hearing, or it may be presented to the hearing officer and each respondent during the course of the hearing. A continuance may be granted by the hearing officer whenever the amendment materially alters the Notice of Hearing, and where a respondent demonstrates that any respondent would otherwise be unable to properly prepare an Answer to the Amended Notice of Hearing or prepare any respondent's case.
- b) A Notice of Hearing may be withdrawn without prejudice by the Securities Department at any time prior to the hearing. After a hearing has begun, a Notice of Hearing may be withdrawn only upon written notice to, and concurrence by the hearing officer.
