Article 21 ReviewI1
Northern Ireland
If, on the application of a party or on its own initiative, the Valuation Tribunal is satisfied that—
its decision was wrong because of an error on the part of the Valuation Tribunal or its staff; or
a party, who was entitled to be heard at a hearing but failed to be present or represented, had a good reason for failing to be present or represented; or
new evidence, to which the decision relates, has become available since the conclusion of the proceedings and its existence could not reasonably have been known or foreseen before then; or
otherwise the interests of justice require,
the Valuation Tribunal may review the relevant decision.
An application for the purposes of paragraph (1)—
may be made immediately following the decision at a hearing; or
if not so made, shall be delivered to the Secretary within 14 days of receipt by the party making the application of written notice of the decision,
and shall be in writing stating the reasons in full.
Where the Valuation Tribunal proposes to review a decision on its own initiative, the Secretary shall send notice of that proposal to the parties.
The parties shall have an opportunity to be heard on any application or proposal for review under this rule.
The relevant decision shall be reviewed by the tribunal which made the decision or, where it is not practicable for it to be reviewed by that tribunal, by a different tribunal.
Following review of a decision the Valuation Tribunal may—
vary or set aside the decision;
vary or revoke any order made in consequence of that decision; and
where a decision is set aside, may order a rehearing before either the same or a different tribunal.
On the variation or setting aside of a decision, or the variation or revocation of an order of the Valuation Tribunal, the Secretary shall immediately make such correction as may be necessary in the register and shall send a copy of the entry so corrected to the parties.
In this rule “decision” means a decision which is a final determination of the proceedings.
