Article 21 Notification to appellant before determination

Where the appellant or his representative have been excluded from the hearing of the appeal or any part of it, the Commission must, before it determines the appeal, give the appellant a summary of the submissions and evidence received in his absence if and to the extent it is possible to do so without making a disclosure which is contrary to the public interest.

Where the Commission provides such a summary, it shall afford the special advocate and the parties an opportunity to make representations and adduce evidence or further evidence to the Commission in respect of the material contained in it.
