Grounds for Rejecting or Disqualifying a Petition

Public Service Rules

A petition will not be entertained where it fails to comply with Rule 100204; concerns a case in which legal action is pending before a Court of Law; is illegible or meaningless; is anonymous; uses abusive, improper or foul language; or merely repeats the substance of a previous petition without introducing new relevant matter. A petition submitted more than six months after the decision complained of will also not be entertained unless the delay is supported by valid reasons as determined by the appropriate authority.
