Paragraph 20 Procedure
Where a case to which this paragraph applies is referred to the adjudicator—
the proper officer shall enter particulars of the case in the register; and
the adjudicator shall give directions as to the conduct of the proceedings unless he decides that no such directions are necessary.
The adjudicator may, in particular—
if it appears to him that no appeal has been made by the relevant person in relation to the subject matter of the case, direct that the case proceed as an appeal and, in that event, this Schedule (except paragraphs 2 and 3) shall apply as if an appeal had been duly made by the relevant person; or
if it appears to him that an appeal has been made by the relevant person in relation to the subject matter of the case and that the appeal has been dismissed, direct that the case proceed as an application under paragraph 12 to review that decision.
