Paragraph 11

Subject to paragraph 12, the failure of any person to serve any document, or copy of a document, or to provide information in the time provided for in this Schedule or any other procedural irregularity does not invalidate the decision of the Secretary of State. The Secretary of State may, and if it is considered that any person may have been prejudiced by such an irregularity, must take such steps as are thought fit before deciding the appeal to cure the irregularity.
