In cases where the case is brought directly before it or where it appears that the case referred by the conciliation and referral office is not ready to be heard, the adjudication office may take all necessary measures to prepare the case for hearing as referred to in article R. 1454-1.
If the parties fail to comply with the communication procedures laid down, the adjudication office may recall the case to the hearing, with a view to ruling on it or striking it out.
Claims, pleas and documents communicated without a legitimate reason after the date set for the exchanges and whose lateness is prejudicial to the rights of the defence shall be excluded from the proceedings.
