Article 52 Consideration by the adjudicator of applications (including applications for directions), representations and objections

In relation to any application, representation or objection made to the adjudicator, unless—

the adjudicator must consider all applications, representations or objections made to him.

If an application, representation or objection is received by the adjudicator after the expiry of any time limit specified for making it, the adjudicator may consider the application, representation or objection, but he is not bound to do so.

In considering any application, representation or objection, the adjudicator must make all enquiries he thinks necessary and must, if required by these Rules or if he considers it necessary, give the person making the application, representation or objection and the parties or other persons who will be affected by it the opportunity to appear before him or to submit written representations.

The adjudicator may decide to accept or reject an application, representation or objection in whole or in part.

Following his consideration of any applications, representations or objections that are made to him, the adjudicator must notify the person who made the application, representation or objection and the parties and any other persons who will be affected by it, of his decision in accordance with these Rules.
