Regulation 21 Disposal by written representations
An appeal may be disposed of on the basis of written representations if the following conditions are satisfied—
all the parties have given their agreement in writing; and
the respondent (or, if there is more than one, each of them) has, within 28 days of being notified by the clerk that the appellant has agreed to the appeal being disposed of by written representations, served on the clerk either a notice containing the reasons or further reasons for believing the appellant’s grievance not to be well founded, or a notice stating that he or it does not intend to make further representations.
The clerk shall within 14 days of receipt of a notice under paragraph (1)(b) serve on the appellant a copy of that notice and a statement of the effect of paragraph (3).
After the expiry of 21 days from the issue of the notice to the appellant as mentioned in paragraph (2), the clerk shall submit copies of the notice of appeal, of any respondent’s notice and any response to such a notice made by the appellant within 14 days of its service on him, to a tribunal constituted as mentioned in regulation 25(1).
The tribunal may if it thinks fit require any party to furnish in writing further particulars of the grounds relied on and of any relevant facts or contentions.
