Rule 50 Accomodations

If you need help in Oregon Tax Court because of a disability, language barrier, or because you need to pump breast milk during a hearing, this rule explains how you can get that help. Instead of writing brand new rules, the Tax Court simply follows the same rules used by other Oregon courts on these topics.

If you have a disability and need special arrangements to take part in your case, the court will follow the state's standard rule on disability accommodations. If you speak a language other than English and need an interpreter, the court will follow the state's standard rules for providing interpreters during hearings or trials. And if you need to express breast milk while dealing with a court matter, the court will follow the state's standard rule that allows for this.

The main point is that people don't lose these rights just because their case is in Tax Court instead of a different Oregon court. The only exception is if one of Tax Court's own specific rules says something different. In that case, the Tax Court's specific rule would apply instead.
