Paragraph 12 Postponement and adjournment
The Committee, either of their own motion or at the request of either party, may postpone a hearing at any time before it begins.
Where a hearing is postponed the Hearings Director shall send notification to the parties of the date on which the Committee are to hold the postponed hearing.
The Hearings Director shall not fix a date for the postponed hearing which is before the end of the period of 14 days beginning with the date on which the Hearings Director sent the notification referred to in paragraph (2) to the appellant.
The Committee may adjourn the proceedings from time to time as they think fit.
In this rule, “the Committee” means (except at the hearing or meeting determining the appeal) those persons who are to form the membership of the Committee at that hearing or meeting.
