Omnilex headnote

LPA 24 al. 2; duty of cooperation in administrative proceedings: where a party, although required to do so, fails to cooperate by producing the information or documents necessary for the establishment of the facts, the authority may draw adverse procedural consequences. The party bears the procedural risk of non-cooperation and may not prevent the determination of the case by withholding the relevant elements; dismissal of the appeal is justified when the lack of cooperation obstructs the review (consid. not stated).
