Regulation 3
A hearing by a committee shall be in public unless, for special reasons, the committee decide otherwise; but nothing in these regulations shall prevent a member of the Council on Tribunals in that capacity from attending any hearing.
Such hearing shall be on such date and at such time and place as the committee shall appoint.
Notices of such date, time and place shall be given by the committee, not less than 10 days before the said date—
where the reference is an application for a certificate of fair rent referred pursuant to paragraph 2 or paragraph 6 of Schedule 7 to the Rent Act 1968, to the applicant and, in a case to which paragraph 9 of the said Schedule applies, to the tenant;
where the reference is an application supported by a certificate of fair rent referred pursuant to paragraph 11 of Schedule 6 to the Rent Act 1968, to the applicant; and
in every other case, to the landlord and to the tenant.
