Rule 10 Written representationsI1

The person concerned may submit written representations in relation to their case, together with any other information or document which that person considers to be relevant and wishes the panel to take into account, within four weeks of the date on which the dossier information is sent to the person under rule 5.

Subject to paragraph (3), where any other information, or any written notice under these Rules, is sent to the person concerned, that person may submit representations on that information or notice within four weeks of the date on which the information or notice was sent.

Where information in relation to a case is provided to the Board or to a panel at a time which does not allow the period of four weeks mentioned in paragraph (2) to be made available, the panel must allow 5 working days (or such shorter period as appears to be in the interests of justice, having regard to the nature of the information) for the person concerned to submit representations.

Representations under paragraph (2) may, in particular, include representations about the non-disclosure of any damaging information to which a written notice under rule 9(3)(b) relates.
