Article 14 Directions fixing the time and place of a hearing

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

Before making a direction under rule 12(b) to fix the time and place of a hearing, the Tribunal shall consider—

(a)

whether the reference should be dealt with as a matter of urgency, in particular considering whether the Regulator has already exercised a regulatory function under the 2004 Act or the 2005 Order, or whether that function may not be exercised until the reference has been finally disposed of; and

(b)

the convenience of the applicant to the reference in attending or being able to attend a hearing which is to be heard as a matter of urgency at short notice.
