An appeal shall be brought only with the leave of the Tribunal.

An application for leave to the Tribunal shall be made not later than 5 days after the person making it (“the appellant”) has received notice of the determination against which he wishes to appeal.

An application for leave shall be made by serving upon the Tribunal the Form prescribed in the Schedule to these Rules (Form A2) which shall be accompanied by the document (or copy of the document) recording the special adjudicator’s determination.

An application for leave shall be determined not later than 5 days after its receipt by the Tribunal.

An application for leave shall be determined without a hearing unless the Tribunal considers that there are special circumstances making a hearing necessary or desirable.

When an application for leave has been determined, the Tribunal shall forthwith send to the parties to the appeal a notice recording the determination of the application for leave and, where leave to appeal is refused, the reasons for the refusal.
