Article 7 Date and place of hearing

As soon as may be after the members of the tribunal to hear the appeal have been selected, the chairman shall fix a date, time and place for the hearing, and the secretary shall serve not less than 28 days' notice thereof on the appellant, the Controller and on every person who has given notice under rule 5(1) of his intention to appear.

Where more than one appeal against the same decision falls to be heard by the same members of the tribunal, the chairman may direct that the appeals shall be heard at the same time.

The chairman may alter the date, time or place of the hearing if it appears to him necessary or desirable to do so to avoid hardship or inconvenience to any party or for any other reason appearing to the chairman to be sufficient.
