Article 12 Exclusion of public

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

(1)

Subject to the provisions of this rule, oral hearings are to take place in public.

(2)

Subject to the provisions of paragraph (3), the adjudicator may exclude a member of the public or members of the public generally from a hearing or from part of a hearing if, and to the extent that, he considers it necessary to do so in the public interest.

(3)

But nothing in this rule is to prevent a member of the Council on Tribunals, a member of the Scottish Committee of that Council, the Chief Asylum Support Adjudicator or the Deputy Chief Asylum Support Adjudicator, in their capacity as such, from attending an oral hearing.
