5 V.S.A. § 36. What's This?

§ 36. Service of process

(a) All processes and hearing notices issued by the board shall state the time and place of return and at least 12 days' notice shall be given as the board directs by certified or registered mail or publication, unless a shorter period is ordered by the board as provided in subsection (b) of this section. However, all processes and notices pertaining to and on any hearings on clearances or other matters concerning the safety of trainmen shall in addition be sent to the secretary of the Vermont legislative board of the United Transportation Union.

(b) The board may shorten the notice period specified in subsection (a) of this section and grant a temporary restraining order under terms as it considers appropriate, if:

(1) it clearly appears from specific facts shown by affidavit or by verified petition that immediate and irreparable injury, loss, damage, or danger to health will result to the petitioner before a hearing can be had upon notice as provided in subsection (a) of this section; and

(2) notice of the application for the restraining order has been given to the company involved or to its attorney. (Added 1985, No. 222 (Adj. Sess.), § 1.)
