Regulation 23 Composition and procedures of appeal tribunals
An appeals tribunal shall consist of not less than three members appointed by the president of the Adjudication Panel (or, in the absence of the president, by the deputy president), from the members of the Adjudication Panel.
The president or the deputy president of the Adjudication Panel may be a member of an appeals tribunal.
A member of the Adjudication Panel may not at any time be a member of an appeals tribunal drawn from the Panel which is to conduct an appeal on a matter relating to a member of an authority if, within the period of five years ending with that time, the member of the Adjudication Panel has been a member or an officer of any of the authorities concerned or a member of any committee, sub-committee, joint committee or joint sub-committee of any of the authorities concerned.
A member of the Adjudication Panel who is directly or indirectly interested in any matter which is, or is likely to be the subject of an appeal conducted by an appeals tribunal—
must disclose the nature of the interest to the Panel’s president or deputy president; and
may not be a member of the appeals tribunal which conducts an appeal in relation to that matter.
The procedure for conducting an appeal shall be such as the appeals tribunal considers appropriate in the circumstances.
