Rule 14 Reconsideration of rejection of claimI1
England, Wales and Scotland
A claimant whose claim has been rejected (in whole or in part) under rule 12 (rejection: claim form not used or failure to supply minimum information) or 13 (rejection: substantive defects) may apply for a reconsideration on the basis that either—
the decision to reject was wrong, or
the notified defect can be rectified.
An application under paragraph (1) must be in writing and it must be received by the Tribunal within 14 days of the date that the notice of rejection was sent. It must explain why the decision to reject is wrong or rectify the defect and it must state whether the claimant requests a hearing.
If the claimant does not request a hearing, or the Tribunal decides, on considering the application, that the claim is to be accepted in full, the Tribunal must determine the application without a hearing. Otherwise the application must be considered at a hearing attended only by the claimant.
If the Tribunal decides that the decision to reject the claim, or part of it, was correct but that the defect has been rectified, the claim must be treated as presented on the date that the application containing the rectification was received by the Tribunal.
