 (a)  Purpose. To control administrative costs for all parties, to expedite and streamline the formal hearing process and to promote judicial economy, an individual who appeals a decision of the Judges or Stewards regarding certain racing matters may waive the right to an oral hearing as provided in Subchapter C (relating to Commission hearings) and elect to have the matter proceed under the expedited process and resolved solely by the submission of documents.

 (b)  Matters for documentary hearing. Among other racing related matters, the expedited documentary hearing may be utilized by an appellant or party when time is of the essence or where the health, safety and welfare of a horse is involved, including but not limited to claiming disputes, horse transfers and other similar matters.
