50. The labour commissioner, before making a decision on the cancellation or reconsideration of a decision or order, must allow the parties to be heard on any pertinent matter, in such manner as he deems proper and, for such purpose, give them, in such manner as he deems proper, at least five clear days’ notice of the day and hour when and the place where they may be heard.
If an interested party so convened does not appear or refuses to be heard at the sitting fixed for such purpose or at an adjournment of such sitting, the labour commissioner may nevertheless proceed with the trial of the matter and no judicial recourse shall be based on the fact that the investigation commissioner so proceeded in the absence of such party.
