Model Rules for Lawyers' Funds for Client Protection

RULE 13 REQUEST FOR RECONSIDERATION

The claimant or respondent may request reconsideration in writing within 30 days of the denial or determination of the amount of a claim. If the claimant or respondent fails to make a request or the request is denied, the decision of the Board is final and there is no further right or appeal.


Comment

This Rule establishes a procedure to provide an opportunity for reconsideration of a claim. It permits claimants or respondents further consideration without creating a right of appeal or judicial review. The opportunity for reconsideration also provides a safeguard against dismissal of a claim not fully presented earlier.
