42. If a member cannot continue a hearing owing to an inability to act, another member designated by the president may, with the parties’ consent, continue the hearing and rely, as regards testimonial evidence, on the notes and minutes of the hearing or, as the case may be, on the stenographer’s notes or the recording of the hearing, subject to a witness being recalled or other evidence being required if the member finds the notes or the recording insufficient.
The same rule applies to the continuance of a hearing after a member ceases to hold office and to any matter heard but not yet determined at the time a member is removed from the matter.
If a matter is heard by more than one member, the hearing is continued by the remaining members.
