Paragraph 4 Further representationsI1

Any party may serve representations in relation to the matters referred to in regulations 8(3), 32(4) or 35(4) (as the case may be) on the proper officer at any time before the appeal is determined.

The adjudicator may invite a party to serve on the proper officer representations dealing with such matters relating to the appeal as may be specified and any such representations must be so served within the time and in the manner specified.

Where a party fails to respond to an invitation under sub-paragraph (2), the adjudicator may draw such inferences as appear proper to the adjudicator.

Any representations served under this paragraph must be signed by the party in question or someone authorised by that party to sign those representations.

Where an appellant serves representations on the proper officer under this paragraph the proper officer must serve a copy of the representations on the charging authority.

Where the charging authority serves representations on the proper officer under this paragraph, it must at the same time serve a copy of the representations on the appellant.

This paragraph is without prejudice to the powers of an adjudicator under paragraph 10.
