Under 8 CSR 60-4.045, when a housing or civil rights complaint proceeds to a formal hearing under Missouri's section 213.075, the person who originally filed the complaint — the complainant — is permitted to testify at that hearing. This right exists regardless of whether the complainant has formally intervened as a party in the proceeding. The rule ensures that the complainant's voice can be heard even if their procedural role in the case is limited.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers involved in a hearing under 8 CSR 60-4.045 should be aware that the individual who filed the complaint retains the right to testify at the proceeding. This is true even if that person has not formally intervened as a party, meaning their testimony may be part of the record regardless of their official standing. Operators familiar with this rule generally account for the complainant's potential testimony when preparing for hearings under section 213.075.
