Article 9 Further applications
Subject to paragraph (2), any successive application made under section 3(1) or 8(1) of the Act shall be referred to as a further application.
The Commissioners may only determine a further application if in their view:
circumstances have changed since the most recent substantive determination was made in respect of the person concerned; or
reliance is placed in support of the further application on any material information, document or evidence which was not placed before the Commissioner when the most recent substantive determination was made in respect of the person concerned.
For the purposes of these Rules, an application is successive where it is not the first application to have been made under the section of the Act in question by or in respect of the person concerned.
