Upon request of any party or upon the judge’s own motion, the judge may order a rehearing before the commissioner in any case or proceeding, with such directions to the commissioner as the judge may deem appropriate.

Comment

Where the findings and recommendations of the commissioner are incomplete or otherwise invalid, efficient use of judicial resources may dictate that the matter be returned to the commissioner for rehearing. This Rule 130.11 authorizes the judge of the family court to direct a rehearing of any matter before the commissioner.
