Article 11 Promulgation of determination and reasons therefor

Subject to paragraph (4), the special adjudicator shall, wherever practicable, pronounce the determination and the reasons therefor at the conclusion of the hearing.

Subject to paragraph (4), the special adjudicator shall send to every party to the appeal, not later than 10 days after the conclusion of the hearing, written notice of the determination and reasons.

A notice sent under paragraph (2) shall not be invalid by virtue of any failure to comply with the time limit prescribed in that paragraph.

In an appeal to which paragraph 5 of Schedule 2 to the 1993 Act applies (Secretary of State certifies claim to be without foundation), if the special adjudicator agrees that the claim is without foundation, he shall at the conclusion of the hearing pronounce the determination and the reasons therefor and furnish every party to the appeal with written notice of that determination and reasons.
