Article 6 Procedure for applying for and giving directions
The Tribunal may give a direction on the application of one or more of the parties or on its own initiative.
An application for a direction may be made—
by sending or delivering a written application to the Tribunal; or
orally during the course of a hearing.
An application for a direction must include the reason for making that application.
If a written application for a direction is made with the consent of every party, it must be accompanied by consents signed by or on behalf of each party.
If a written application for a direction is not made with the consent of every party the applicant must provide—
a copy of the proposed application to every other party before it is made; and
confirmation to the Tribunal that the other parties have been notified that any objection they wish to make to the application must be provided in accordance with paragraph (6).
A party who wishes to object to an application for a direction must within 10 days of being sent a copy of the application, send written notice of the objection to the Tribunal and the applicant.
Unless the Tribunal considers that there is good reason not to do so, the Tribunal must send written notice of any direction to every party and to any other person affected by the direction.
If a party or any other person sent notice of the direction under paragraph (7) wishes to challenge a direction which the Tribunal has given, they may do so by applying for another direction which amends, suspends or sets aside the first direction.
