PART 81--PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE FOR HEARINGS UNDER PART 80 OF THIS TITLE--Table of Contents
 
       Subpart D--Form, Execution, Service and Filing of Documents
 
Sec. 81.32  Signature of documents.

    The signature of a party, authorized officer, employee or attorney 
constitutes a certificate that he has read the document, that to the 
best of his knowledge, information, and belief there is good ground to 
support it, and that it is not interposed for delay. If a document is 
not signed or is signed with intent to defeat the purpose of this 
section, it may be stricken as sham and false and the proceeding may 
proceed as though the document had not been filed. Similar action may be 
taken if scandalous or indecent matter is inserted.
