# The Education Tribunal for Wales Regulations 2021, Regulation 35: Consolidating claims together with appeals

Extent: E+W

(1) Subject to paragraphs (2) and (3), where a claim relates to the same child or young person and either arises from the same circumstances or requires a decision on substantially the same issue as an appeal, the President may order that the claim is heard with the appeal.
(2) Nothing in paragraph (1) permits the President to make an order if a person has failed to make an appeal within the time limits specified by regulation 10 or by any extension of time to make such an appeal granted under these Regulations.
(3) The President may only make an order under paragraph (1) if, in addition to complying with the requirements of paragraph (6), the making of an order would not cause undue delay to the determination of the appeal.
(4) The President may make an order varying or revoking an earlier order made under paragraph (1).
(5) Subject to paragraph (6), the President may issue an order under this regulation on the written request of either party or on the President’s own initiative.
(6) An order made under this regulation must only be made if it appears, in the opinion of the President, to be fair and just to do so, and before an order is made each party to every claim or appeal affected must be given an opportunity to be heard.
