(a) It is the intent of these rules to provide for the just and inexpensive determination of appeals without unnecessary delay.

Each specified time limitation is a maximum, and should not be fully used if the action described can be accomplished in a shorter period. The Board may extend any time limitation for good cause and in accordance with legal precedent.
(b) Ordinarily, the appellant has the burden of proof.
(c) The rules of procedure at 6302 shall govern the procedures in all contract disputes appealed to the Board.
