Regulation 21 Striking out
The appeal panel may, after giving the parties an opportunity to be heard, either on its own initiative or on the application of a party, strike out an appeal in whole or in part at any stage of the proceedings if—
it considers that the notice of appeal, or part of it, discloses no valid ground of appeal,
it considers that the appellant does not have a sufficient interest in the decision in respect of which the appeal is made,
it is satisfied that the appellant has habitually and persistently and without any reasonable ground—
instituted vexatious proceedings, whether against the same person or different persons, or
made vexatious applications in the proceedings, or
the appellant fails to comply with these Regulations or with any direction issued by the appeal panel.
When the appeal panel strikes out an appeal it may make any consequential determination it considers appropriate.
