Regulation 19 Expert evidence

The President may, if he thinks that any question arises in relation to the application on which it would be desirable for the Tribunal to have the assistance of an expert, appoint a person having appropriate qualifications to enquire into and report on the matter.

The Secretary must supply the parties with a copy of any written report received under paragraph (1) in advance of the hearing (or, if there will be no hearing, before the application is determined).

If the President sees fit, he may direct that the expert shall attend the hearing, and give evidence.

The President shall pay such fees as he may determine to any person appointed under this regulation.
