Explanatory note

These Rules amend the Transport Tribunal Rules 2000^f1 to make provision for appeals to the tribunal under regulation 6A of the Vehicle Drivers (Certificates of Professional Competence) Regulations 2007^f2. The rules in new Part IVB provide for the manner in which an appeal is to be brought.

Rule 24 of the Transport Tribunal Rules 2000 is also amended so that the tribunal has power to shorten a time limit in the Rules. Consequently, rule 18E is no longer necessary and is omitted.
