Rule 22 Intervention by Attorney General in appeals and applications

Where the Attorney General has received papers sent in accordance with section 2D(2) and (3) of the 1993 Act, the Attorney General must notify the Tribunal whether the Attorney General intends to intervene in the proceedings not later than 28 days after the date on which the Attorney General received those papers.

Regardless of paragraph (1) the Attorney General may notify the Tribunal that the Attorney General intends to intervene in the proceedings at any time.

When the Tribunal receives notification from the Attorney General under paragraphs (1) or (2) it must fix a directions hearing.

The Attorney General and the parties will be given not less than 28 days notice of the time and place of the hearing under paragraph (3) unless the Attorney General and parties agree to shorter notice.

When the Attorney General intervenes in proceedings under paragraph (2) the Attorney General may request under rule 3 (directions) that the Tribunal send all the necessary papers in the proceedings to the Attorney General.
