Regulation 39 Review of the President’s decision
On the application of a party to the Secretary of the Tribunal or on his own initiative, the President may review and set aside or vary any decision of his if he is satisfied that—
the decision was wrongly made as a result of an error on the part of the tribunal staff;
there was an obvious error in the decision; or
the interests of justice so require.
An application by a party for a review under paragraph (1) shall be made—
in writing stating the grounds in full;
not later than 10 working days after the date on which he was notified of the decision.
Where the President proposes to review his decision on his own initiative he shall serve notice of that proposal on the parties not later than 10 working days after they were notified of the decision.
The parties shall have an opportunity to be heard on any application or proposal for review under this regulation and the review shall be determined by the President.
If any decision is set aside or varied under this regulation the Secretary of the Tribunal shall alter the entry in the records and shall notify the parties accordingly.
A decision by the President not to extend the parent’s time for delivering notice of appeal under regulation 7(3) shall be capable of being reviewed under this regulation on the application of the parent as if he were party to an appeal. In such a case, the authority shall not be entitled to be heard or notified.
