Article 1 Overriding objective

The overriding objective of these appeal rules is to enable appeals in disciplinary proceedings under the Measure to be dealt with justly, in a way that is both fair to all relevant interested persons and proportionate to the nature and seriousness of the issues raised. These appeal rules are, so far as is reasonably practicable, to be applied in accordance with the principle that undue delay and undue expense are to be avoided.
