Hearing Procedures for Expedited Proceedings

Hearing procedures apply to any member or associated person who is served with a notice and who requests a hearing in a timely manner.

Not less than two business days before the hearing, FINRA staff will provide the respondent with all documents that were considered in issuing the notice, and the parties will exchange proposed exhibit and witness lists. Formal rules of evidence do not apply h
