Regulation 12 Determination of application for permission to appeal
An application for permission to appeal must be considered by the appeal panel without a hearing.
The appeal panel considering an application for permission to appeal may require the appellant to provide further information if that information is reasonably required by the panel to enable it—
to determine the application, or
to make the determination referred to in paragraph (4).
When the appeal panel determines the application for permission to appeal, it may—
give permission to appeal;
give permission to appeal, but on limited grounds, or subject to conditions;
refuse permission to appeal.
If the appeal panel grants permission to appeal, it must determine whether the appeal is to be treated as a standard appeal or a complex appeal.
The appeal panel must reject an application for permission to appeal if—
the application for permission to appeal is made out of time, and
no extension of time has been granted under regulation 8(2).
If the appeal panel grants permission to appeal—
the decision being appealed, and
where the decision being appealed is the imposition of conditions on a licence, the grant of that licence,
has no effect pending the determination of the appeal unless the appeal panel directs otherwise.
The secretary must give written notice of the appeal panel’s decision to the Secretary of State, the appellant and the respondent within the period of seven days beginning with the day after the day on which the appeal panel decided the application.
If the appeal panel has decided to grant permission to appeal, the notice must state whether the appeal panel considers the appeal to be a standard appeal or a complex appeal.
If the appeal panel has decided to reject the application for permission to appeal, or to grant permission to appeal subject to conditions or limitations on the appeal, that notice must contain a statement of the reasons for the refusal, or for any limitations or conditions.
