Article 16 Further matters regarding specific directions

(1)

If the Tribunal gives a direction under rule 11(f) to permit or require a party to provide further information, a supplementary statement or to amend a response document or supplementary statement, the direction may require that party to file any such information, statement or amendment and provide that the Tribunal will send a copy to the other party.

(2)

The Tribunal must not give a direction under rule 11(g) or (i) if it considers that any of the grounds in rule 8(2) apply in relation to the documents which would be the subject of the direction, and for the purpose of satisfying itself in respect of any such document, the Tribunal may—

(a)

require that the document be produced to the Tribunal;

(b)

conduct any hearing in the absence of any party; and

(c)

invite any party to make representations.

(3)

In the case of an application for a direction under rule 11(n) that the register should include no or limited particulars about the appeal, the Tribunal may give such a direction if it is satisfied that this is necessary, having regard to—

(a)

the interests of public order, national security or the protection of the private lives of the parties; or

(b)

any unfairness to the appellant or prejudice to the interests of justice that might result from the register including particulars about the appeal.
