Paragraph 20 Initiating an appeal
To bring an appeal against a determination, an individual must submit to the Scottish Ministers the form provided under paragraph 17(1)(b) or (as the case may be) paragraph 18(1)(b) in relation to the determination.
On receiving a form submitted under sub-paragraph (1), the Scottish Ministers must send—
the form, and
the information held by them that they used to make the determination in question,
to the First-tier Tribunal.
Having complied with sub-paragraph (2), the Scottish Ministers must inform the individual to whom the determination in question relates that they have done so.
In this paragraph, references to a form include a copy of a form.
For the avoidance of doubt, the form that the Scottish Ministers provide under paragraph 17 and 18 need not be a physical form.
