Regulation 31 Decisions of the Tribunal in determining applications
This regulation applies to the decision determining an application.
If a hearing was held, the decision may be given orally at the end of the hearing.
A decision must, in every case, be recorded in a document as soon as practicable after the decision has been made.
A decision given or recorded in accordance with paragraph (2) or (3) need not record the reasons for the decision.
The reasons for the decision must be recorded in a document as soon as practicable after the decision has been given or recorded.
A document recording a decision or the reasons for a decision (a “decision document”), must be signed and dated by an appropriate person.
An appropriate person may, by means of a certificate signed and dated by him, correct any clerical mistakes in a decision document or any errors arising in it from an accidental slip or omission.
In this regulation “appropriate person” means—
the Chair of the tribunal; or
in the event of his absence or incapacity, another member of the tribunal.
A copy of any decision document, and a copy of any correction certified under paragraph (7) must be sent to each party.
