A party may apply by way of ancillary application for the Commissioner to take an ancillary decision by serving on the Commissioner and on the other party a notice of ancillary application in an appropriate form.

The notice of ancillary application shall specify the ancillary decision sought, shall state the grounds upon which the application is based, and shall be signed by the party making the ancillary application or by his representative.

As soon as is practicable after the expiry of the time for service of the notice of reply, the single Commissioner shall determine the ancillary application without a hearing and shall serve written notice of his decision on the parties, giving reasons.
