Legal Question in Employment Law in New York

Employment Law

10 years ago - charged with wrongdoing by a municipality - entitled to a Hearing with a lawyer at the time - The Collective Bargaining Agreement has since been changed - Have won the right to a new Hearing in Court - but gov't agency will NOT allow a lawyer to represent me - because Collective Bargaining has been revised.

Can they do this because the contract has been modified? Which rules apply? The rules at the time of the allegation? The Judge directed that a Hearing be held de Novo--but did not specifiy the right to Counsel.

I really cannot believe that a judge will not permit you to be represented by an attorney. Retain an attorney and let the attorney deal with it.
