Sec. 180.425  Amendments to pleadings.

    (a) By right. HUD may amend the charge or notice of proposed adverse 
action once as a matter of right prior to the filing of the answer.
    (b) By leave. Upon such conditions as are necessary to avoid 
prejudicing the public interest and the rights of the parties, the ALJ 
may allow amendments to pleadings upon a motion of a party.
    (c) Conformance to the evidence. When issues not raised by the 
pleadings are reasonably within the scope of the original charge or 
notice of proposed adverse action and have been tried by the express or 
implied consent of the parties, the issues shall be treated in all 
respects as if they had been raised in the pleadings, and amendments may 
be made as necessary to make the pleading conform to evidence.
    (d) Supplemental pleadings. The ALJ may, upon reasonable notice, 
permit supplemental pleadings concerning transactions, occurrences or 
events that have happened or been discovered since the date of the 
pleadings and which are relevant to any of the issues involved.
