# The Agricultural Land Tribunals (Rules) Order 2007, Paragraph 22: Failure of parties to attend


(1) If a party fails to attend or be represented at a hearing, the Tribunal may, if it is satisfied that the party was duly notified of the hearing and that there is no good reason for such absence—
(a) hear and decide the application or question in the party’s absence; or
(b) adjourn the hearing,
and may give such directions as it thinks fit.
(2) Before deciding to dispose of any application or question in the absence of a party, the Tribunal must consider the application and any reply, as appropriate, and any written representations or evidence supplied.
(3) Where an applicant has failed to attend or be represented at a hearing of which he was duly notified, and the Tribunal has disposed of the application, no fresh application may be made by the applicant to the Tribunal for relief arising out of the same facts without the prior permission of the Tribunal.
(4) Nothing in this rule prevents the applicant making an application for a review of the Tribunal’s decision under rule 32.
