Sec. 269b.710  Rules to be liberally construed.

    (a) Whenever the panel finds that unusual circumstances or good 
cause exist and that strict compliance with the terms of the rules and 
regulations in this subchapter will work an injustice or unfairness, it 
shall construe the rules and regulations in this subchapter liberally to 
prevent injustices and to effectuate the purposes of the policy.
    (b) When an act is required or allowed to be done at or within a 
specified time, the panel may at any time, in its discretion, order the 
period altered where it shall be manifest that strict adherence will 
work surprise or injustice or interfere with the proper effectuation of 
the policy.
