Summary

In an entitlement and revocation action, a request by the defendant for an extension of time to file its counterstatement was opposed by the claimant.

Having considered the arguments put forward by both parties, the hearing officer concluded that the effect on the defendant of refusing the request would significantly outweigh the effect on the claimant of allowing it. He therefore acceded to the request.
