Sec. 1.734 Specifications as to pleadings, briefs, and other documents;
subscription.
(a) All papers filed in any formal complaint proceeding must be drawn in
conformity with the requirements of Sec. Sec. 1.49 and 1.50.
(b) All averments of claims or defenses in complaints and answers shall be
made in numbered paragraphs. The contents of each paragraph shall be limited
as far as practicable to a statement of a single set of circumstances. Each
claim founded on a separate transaction or occurrence and each affirmative
defense shall be separately stated to facilitate the clear presentation of
the matters set forth.
(c) The original of all pleadings and other submissions filed by any party
shall be signed by the party, or by the party's attorney. The signing party
shall include in the document his or her address, telephone number,
facsimile number and the date on which the document was signed. Copies
should be conformed to the original. Unless specifically required by rule or
statute, pleadings need not be verified. The signature of an attorney or
party shall be a certificate that the attorney or party has read the
pleading, motion, or other paper; that to the best of his or her knowledge,
information, and belief formed after reasonable inquiry, it is well grounded
in fact and is warranted by existing law or a good faith argument for the
extension, modification, or reversal of existing law; and that it is not
interposed solely for purposes of delay or for any other improper purpose.
(d) All proposed orders shall be submitted both as hard copies and on
computer disk formatted to be compatible with the Commission's computer
system and using the Commission's current wordprocessing software. Each disk
should be submitted in “read only” mode. Each disk should be clearly
labelled with the party's name, proceeding, type of pleading, and date of
submission. Each disk should be accompanied by a cover letter. Parties who
have submitted copies of tariffs or reports with their hard copies need not
include such tariffs or reports on the disk. Upon showing of good cause, the
Commission may waive the requirements of this paragraph.
