Article 35 Notice of decisions and reasons
United Kingdom
The Tribunal may give a decision orally at a hearing.
The Tribunal must provide to each party F1, as soon as reasonably practicable after making F2a decision (other than a decision under Part 4) which finally disposes of all issues in proceedings or of a preliminary issue dealt with following a direction under rule 5(3)(e) F3..., a decision notice which—
states the Tribunal's decision; and
notifies the party of any right of appeal against the decision and the time within which, and the manner in which, the right of appeal may be exercised.
F4The decision notice must—
include a summary of the findings of fact and reasons for the decision; or
be accompanied by full written findings of fact and reasons for the decision.
Paragraph (3) does not apply where the Tribunal has given reasons for the decision, whether summary or full, orally at a hearing.
If the Tribunal provides no findings and reasons, or summary findings and reasons only, in or with the decision notice, a party to the proceedings may apply for full written findings and reasons, and must do so before making an application for permission to appeal under rule 39 (application for permission to appeal).
An application under paragraph (4) must be made in writing and be sent or delivered to the Tribunal so that it is received within F614 days after the date that the Tribunal sent or otherwise provided the decision notice under paragraph (2) to the party making the application.
