The Claims Commissioner shall adopt rules of procedure, not inconsistent with the policy and provisions of this chapter, governing the proceedings of the Office of the Claims Commissioner. The rules shall avoid formal and technical requirements, but shall provide a simple, uniform, expeditious and economical procedure for the presentation and disposition of claims. Such rules of procedure shall not be regulations for the purposes of chapter 54.

History: P.A. 75-605 replaced commission with claims commissioner; P.A. 82-167 deleted obsolete reference to Secs. 4-46 and 4-49, substituting reference to Ch. 54; P.A. 82-472 required commissioner to adopt regulations in accordance with Ch. 54 and deleted references to rules subject to repealed Secs. 4-46 and 4-49; P.A. 16-127 substituted “rules of procedure” for “regulations in accordance with the provisions of chapter 54”, substituted “the proceedings of the Office of the Claims Commissioner” for “his proceedings”, added “Such rules of procedure shall not be regulations for the purposes of chapter 54.” and made a conforming change, effective June 9, 2016.
Cited. 186 C. 300; 189 C. 550. P.A. 82-167, Sec. 5 of which amended this section, should be read as a clarification of Superior Court's ongoing lack of jurisdiction to hear appeals from Claims Commissioner. 195 C. 534.
