Article 3 Notice of appeal
A person who wishes to appeal under section 103 of the Act must give notice to an adjudicator by completing in full, and in English, the form for the time being issued by the Secretary of State for the purpose (“notice of appeal”); and any form so issued is to be in the form shown in the Schedule to these Rules or a form to like effect.
The notice of appeal must be signed by the appellant or his representative.
Subject to paragraph (4), the notice of appeal must be received by the adjudicator not later than 2 days after the day on which the appellant received the decision letter.
The adjudicator may extend the time limit for receiving the notice of appeal (either before or after its expiry) if:
he considers that it is in the interests of justice to do so; and
he is satisfied that:
the appellant; or
his representative (if he has one);
was prevented from complying with the time limit by circumstances beyond his control.
