Regulation 12 Provision of additional evidence by proposer

Subject to regulation 18 and to paragraph (6), the proposer may, in the circumstances set out in paragraphs (2) and (3), provide the assessor with further information relating to the grounds of the proposal, after the proposal is made.

The proposer may provide the assessor with further evidence relating to the grounds of the proposal where that evidence did not exist at the time the proposal was made.

The proposer and assessor may agree in writing that the proposer may provide further evidence relating to the grounds of the proposal, if the evidence was not provided to the assessor when the proposal was made, but did exist at the time it was made.

The proposer must send information under paragraph (1) to the assessor no later than 28 days before the proposal determination date, unless the proposer and assessor agree to a shorter timescale before the proposal determination date.

Paragraph (6) applies where the assessor does not respond to a request by the proposer for agreement that they may submit further evidence under paragraph (3), at least 42 days before the last date under regulation 21 for issue of a notice of decision in relation to a proposal.

Where this paragraph applies, the assessor is to be presumed to have agreed to the submission of further evidence as described in paragraph (3).
