Article 8 Objections to intervener’s credentials (Form 6)

Any party intending to object to an intervener’s credentials shall, within 14 days of being served with a copy of the notice of intervention under rule 7, serve on the Secretary a notice of objection in Form 6.

The Secretary shall, as soon as practicable after receipt of any notice of objection, serve on every other party to the proceedings a copy of the same.

If the Tribunal intends of its own motion to object to an intervener’s credentials, the Secretary shall, on the expiration of the time specified under rule 5(2)(c), serve on the intervener and every other party notice of that intention with a statement of the Tribunal’s reasons for the objection.

An objection to an intervener’s credentials shall not, subject to any direction to the contrary that the Chairman may give under rule 11(2)(vii), operate as a stay of the proceedings and shall be considered by the Tribunal at the same time as the reference or application in question.
