Article 19 Arrangements for the hearing

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

(1)

The Tribunal shall make arrangements for the hearing of an appeal or charge as soon as it is satisfied that—

(a)

all outstanding procedural directions have been complied with and there is sufficient information to allow a fair determination of the issues; or

(b)

a party has failed to comply with any reasonable directions as to the conduct of the proceedings and it is expedient for the proceedings to be determined.

(2)

In selecting a date for the hearing, the Tribunal shall consult each party to the proceedings, except that if the circumstance set out in paragraph (1)(b) obtains, the hearing may be arranged so as to take place in the absence of the party in default.

(3)

The President may direct that there shall be one or more preliminary hearings, either on a question of law or for any other purpose.
