Regulation 6 Striking out of proceedingsI1

Subject to paragraph (2), a chairman may, either of his own motion or on the application of any party to the proceedings, order that the appeal or application be struck out because of the failure of the appellant or applicant to comply with a direction under regulation 3(11) or 5 or to reply to an enquiry from the clerk to the tribunal about his availability to attend a hearing.

Before making an order under paragraph (1) the chairman shall send notice to the person against whom it is proposed that any such order should be made and any other party to the proceedings giving each of them a reasonable opportunity to show cause why such an order should not be made.

The chairman may, on application by any party to the proceedings made not later than one year beginning with the date of the order made under paragraph (1), give leave to reinstate any appeal or application which has been struck out in accordance with that order.
