Regulation 5 Appeal
Where the adjudication officer has decided a question under regulation 2(4), the debtor may appeal to a tribunal.
Subject to paragraph (5), an appeal lies to a Commissioner from any decision of a tribunal on the grounds that the decision of that tribunal was erroneous in point of law and the persons who may appeal are the debtor and the adjudication officer.
If it appears to the Chief Commissioner or, in the case of his inability to act, to such other of the Commissioners as he may have nominated to act for that purpose, that an appeal falling to be heard by one of the Commissioners involves a question of law of special difficulty, he may direct that the appeal be dealt with, not by that Commissioner alone but by a Tribunal consisting of any 3 of the Commissioners and if the decision is not unanimous, the decision of the majority shall be the decision of the Tribunal.
Subject to paragraph (5), an appeal on a question of law lies to the Court of Appeal from any decision of a Commissioner on a question of law and the persons who may appeal are —
the debtor;
the adjudication officer; and
the Secretary of State.
No appeal lies to the Commissioner or to the Court of Appeal —
in the case of an appeal to the Commissioner, without the leave of the chairman of a tribunal, which decided the appeal or, where he refuses leave, the Commissioner;
in the case of the Court of Appeal, with the leave of the Commissioner who decided the appeal or, if he refuses leave, the Court of Appeal.
