by Gregory Williams, Esq. | Under Washington State Human Rights Commission (WSHRC) regulations, do Practice and Procedure Amendments apply to pending cases? Here’s my point of view (NOTE: please read our DISCLAIMER before proceeding).
PRACTICE & PROCEDURE AMENDMENTS
Chapter 162-08 WAC (Practice & Procedure) is the relevant law, and it addresses amendments to that chapter as follows:
(4) Amendments apply to pending cases. An amendment to this chapter applies to cases pending at the time of the adoption of the amendment, unless the amendment or rule-making order says that it does not apply to pending cases. An amendment to this chapter does not require that anything already done be redone to comply with the amendment, unless the amendment expressly says so.
WAC 162-08-011(4). Thus, amendments to the Practice and Procedure Chapter apply to pending cases unless indicated otherwise.
