Article 13 Adjudication
Where an oral hearing is held:
the adjudicator must inform all persons present of his adjudication at the conclusion of the hearing;
if neither the appellant nor his representative (if he has one) is present at the conclusion of the hearing, the adjudicator must send notice of his adjudication on the same day to the appellant;
if the Secretary of State is not present at the conclusion of the hearing, the adjudicator must send notice of his adjudication on the same day to the Secretary of State; and
not later than 2 days after the day on which the appeal is determined, the adjudicator must send a reasons statement to the appellant and the Secretary of State.
Where there is no oral hearing, the adjudicator must on the day that the appeal is determined:
send notice of his adjudication to the appellant and the Secretary of State; and
send a reasons statement to them.
An adjudication takes effect from the day on which it is made.
A “reasons statement” is a written statement giving reasons for the adjudication.
