If in the course of any proceeding any person is guilty of misbehavior which obstructs such proceeding, he or she may be excluded from further participation therein. If the miscreant is the claimant or his or her attorney, the Claims Commissioner or a magistrate may summarily terminate the proceeding, and the Claims Commissioner may dismiss the claim and order it forfeited to the state.
