Article 4 Appeal notice
An appeal must be made by way of a written notice (“the appeal notice”) signed, dated and filed by the appellant.
The appellant must send to the Tribunal the appropriate fee with the appeal notice unless, the appeal notice includes an application for reduction, waiver or exemption from that fee.
The appeal notice must state—
the name and address of the appellant;
the name and address of the appellant’s representative (if any);
the address for service;
that the notice is an appeal notice; and
the grounds of appeal that the appellant wishes the Tribunal to consider.
Where the appellant fails to send the appropriate fee in accordance with paragraph (2), the appeal notice will not be treated as being received by the Tribunal and will be returned to the appellant.
Where a representative, other than a legal representative, is named under paragraph (3)(b) and the appeal notice is signed by the representative on behalf of the appellant, the appellant must file with the appeal notice a written statement, signed by the appellant, that the representative is authorised to so act.
Where a representative is named under paragraph (3)(b) the appellant shall notify the Tribunal in writing immediately of any change to the person so named.
Where a representative is appointed by the appellant after having filed the appeal notice under paragraph (1), the appellant shall notify the Tribunal immediately of that fact and of the name and address of the representative.
In paragraph (3)(a), “address” in respect of a corporation means the address of the registered or principal office.
A copy of the Commission’s determination must be filed with the appeal notice.
The appellant may include an application for directions with the appeal notice.
Where the time limit for bringing an appeal under section 142(1) has expired, the appellant must include with the appeal notice an application for a direction to extend the time limit for making an appeal, which must include a statement of the reasons for the extension.
Where an application for reduction, waiver or exemption of the fee has been included with the appeal notice in accordance with paragraph (2), no further action shall be taken in relation to the appeal notice until such application has been determined and the appellant has been notified of the appropriate fee (if any) to be paid.
Where an application is made under paragraph (10) or (11), the Tribunal must refer the application for determination and must take no further action in relation to the appeal notice until such an application has been determined.
Subject to paragraphs (12) and (13) and to any directions given by the Tribunal, upon receiving an appeal notice the Tribunal must—
enter particulars of the appeal in the register;
inform the parties in writing of—
the date when the Tribunal received the appeal notice; and

provide the Commission with a copy of—
the appeal notice;
any application for directions made under paragraph (10); and
any other document filed with the appeal notice.
