Where required to do so by notice given by the review panel, a person entitled to appear at the hearing session must, by such date as is specified in the notice, send to the review panel, the requesting local authority and to such other persons entitled to appear at the hearing session as the review panel may specify in such notice—
a hearing statement, and
where that person intends to refer to or rely on any documents when presenting their case a copy of every document (or the relevant part of a document) on the list comprised in that hearing statement which is not already available for inspection under regulation 11 or 18 or paragraph (2) of this rule.
The review panel must make a copy of any hearing statement or other document which, or a copy of which, has been sent to it in accordance with this rule, available for inspection on a website or by other electronic means until such time as the review is determined.
Any person who has sent a hearing statement in accordance with this rule must—
when required by further notice in writing from the review panel, provide such further information about the matters contained in the statement as the review panel may specify, and
at the same time send a copy of such further information to any other person to whom the hearing statement has been sent.
Different dates and different persons may be specified for the purposes of paragraph (1).
In this rule, “hearing statement” means, and is comprised of—
a written statement which fully sets out the case relating to the specified matters which a person proposes to put forward to a hearing session,
a list of documents (if any) which the person putting forward such case intends to refer to or rely on, and
a list of any other persons who are to speak at the hearing session in respect of such case, any matters which such persons are particularly to address and any relevant qualifications of such persons to do so.
