Changes to the MCAD&#8217;s Procedural Regulations"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>The Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination (\u201cMCAD\u201d) recently released <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mass.gov\/lists\/mcad-statutes-and-regulations#mcad-draft-procedural-regulations-01\/14\/2019-\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">new draft procedural regulations,<\/a> which aim to substantially overhaul the existing ones which have been in effect since 1999.\u00a0 Although the draft regulations are still subject to review, commentary and public hearing, some key changes are highlighted below:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Timeframes for Respondents \/ Complainants to Appeal a Probable Cause Finding:\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>One of the most significant changes in the proposed regulations involves the significantly expanded time period that Respondents, e.g., employers and supervisors, will have to appeal an adverse finding of Probable Cause.\u00a0 Under the existing regulations, a Respondent has thirty (30) days from the date of the Probable Cause Finding to file a motion for reconsideration.\u00a0 Under the proposed regulations, a motion for reconsideration may be filed for good cause at any time up until the Certification Conference, or within 45 days of the case being certified for Public Hearing &#8211; events that procedurally occur on the relative eve of Public Hearing, often months, if not years, after the underlying investigation concluded and discovery has been completed.\u00a0 By way of contrast, under both the current and proposed regulations, Complainants, e.g., employees, seeking to appeal an adverse disposition (<em>i.e.<\/em>, a \u201cLack of Probable Cause\u201d or \u201cLack of Jurisdiction\u201d determination, or a dismissal) have only ten (10) days to appeal.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Position Statements and Rebuttals:\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Despite the current regulations being silent on the practice, for decades, the MCAD has welcomed, and often requested, that a Complainant submit a Rebuttal to a Respondent\u2019s Position Statement \u2013 thereby ensuring, as in many other legal proceedings, that the injured party gets \u201cthe last word.\u201d\u00a0 Under the proposed regulations, this practice would be codified.\u00a0 Indeed, the MCAD makes it clear that Rebuttals, while not required, are strongly encouraged and may be specifically requested by the MCAD to assist in investigations.\u00a0 The proposed regulations also impose firm deadlines for filing both Positions Statements and Rebuttals; specifically, Investigators, upon written request and for good cause shown, may grant extensions of not more than 21 days absent \u201cexceptional circumstances.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Equitable Tolling:\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>The legal doctrine of equitable tolling has been expressly incorporated into the proposed regulations.\u00a0 Specifically, the proposed regulations provide that the statute of limitations (a 300 day filing deadline) may be equitably tolled in those cases where the \u201c<em>complainant is excusably ignorant of their rights or of facts giving rise to a claim within the Commission\u2019s jurisdiction, or where complainant has been misled, either by the Commission or the respondent, as determined by the Investigating Commissioner<\/em>.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Motion Practice:\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>The MCAD has taken several steps to expand upon and clarify certain motion procedures at various stages of MCAD proceedings.\u00a0 For example, the requirement that represented parties confer prior to any motion being filed has been expanded beyond discovery-related motions and will apply to all motions unless otherwise exempted under the regulations.\u00a0 Under the proposed regulations, exemptions apply to <em>Pro Se<\/em> parties (parties who are not represented by lawyers), \u201cEmergency Motions\u201d (as delineated under the regulations), and certain pre-determination motions, including motions to amend the complaint and motions for extension of time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Attorney Withdrawal:\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>The proposed regulations limit the ability of attorneys to withdraw from pending MCAD matters where no appearance of successor counsel has been filed.\u00a0 Specifically, the proposed regulations require leave from the MCAD\u2019s General Counsel for an attorney to withdraw after a Probable Cause finding has been issued.\u00a0 Under the existing regulations, an attorney may withdraw, without leave from the MCAD, at any time prior to Certification for Public Hearing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Given the review, commentary and public hearing process to which the proposed regulations will now be subject, we expect revisions to be made, but at least as to the issues noted above, the MCAD has given a heads-up to parties and practitioners as to what to expect in the future.\u00a0 Stay in touch for updates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination (\u201cMCAD\u201d) recently released new
