Article 17 Tribunal’s consideration of application for leave to appeal
On receipt of an application for leave to appeal, the Tribunal may decide without a hearing whether or not to grant leave, unless they consider that special circumstances make a hearing necessary or desirable.
The Tribunal must as soon as practicable provide a record of their decision to the complainant and respondent.
If the Tribunal refuses leave to appeal they must as soon as practicable provide to the parties with the record of the Tribunal’s decision—
a statement of their reasons for such refusal; and
notification of the right to make an application to the relevant appellate court for leave to appeal.
The Tribunal may give leave to appeal on limited grounds, but must comply with paragraph (3) in relation to any grounds on which they have refused leave.
