Operative Text
If a party appearing before the Board fails to comply with the required procedures or production of information requested, such conduct shall be grounds for dismissal of a petition presented to the Board.
Under West Stockbridge, Mass., Code of Bylaws CH. 170 § 170-9, when a party participating in a Board proceeding does not follow required procedures or fails to produce information the Board has requested, that non-compliance can serve as grounds for the Board to dismiss the party's petition. The rule gives the Board authority to end a case based on procedural failures, not just on the merits. This applies to any party appearing before the Board, regardless of whether they are a landlord or a tenant.
