Withdrawal of hearing

Summary

The Appellant Notification module will notify an appellant when a scheduled hearing for their appeal has been withdrawn. There are two different ways in which a hearing is withdrawn.

1. A hearing coordinator chooses to cancel the hearing on the appeal's case details page. The hearing's disposition is set to "cancelled" and the hearing tasks for the appeal are also updated to be cancelled.
2. A hearing coordinator chooses to cancel the hearing on the daily docket. The hearing's disposition is set to "cancelled".

Prepended Methods

There are three different methods used to track cancelled hearings:

1. The method used to track cancelled hearings from the appeal's case details page is update_hearing(hearing_hash) located in app/models/tasks/assign_hearing_disposition_task.rb.
2. The method used to track cancelled hearings for AMA Appeals on the daily docket is update_hearing located in app/models/hearings/forms/hearing_update_form.rb.
