Article 34 Reasons for decisions
In asylum support cases the Tribunal must send a written statement of reasons for a decision which disposes of proceedings (except a decision under Part 4) to each party—
if the case is decided at a hearing, within 3 days after the hearing; or
if the case is decided without a hearing, on the day that the decision is made.
In all other cases the Tribunal may give reasons for a decision which disposes of proceedings (except a decision under Part 4)—
orally at a hearing; or
in a written statement of reasons to each party.
Unless the Tribunal has already provided a written statement of reasons under paragraph (2)(b), a party may make a written application to the Tribunal for such statement following a decision F1which finally disposes of—
all issues in the proceedings; or
a preliminary issue dealt with following a direction under rule 5(3)(e).
An application under paragraph (3) must be received within 1 month of the date on which the Tribunal sent or otherwise provided to the party a decision notice relating to the decisionF2....
If a party makes an application in accordance with paragraphs (3) and (4) the Tribunal must, subject to rule 14(2) (withholding information likely to cause harm), send a written statement of reasons to each party within 1 month of the date on which it received the application or as soon as reasonably practicable after the end of that period.
