An application for review may be lodged by any person who is entitled to apply according to the enabling legislation. The Tribunal is not able to hear applications in respect of every administrative decision. The Tribunal will advise all parties of an application for review being registered. You should always quote the Tribunal's reference number in all further contact with the Tribunal. The General list has prepared a number of Practice Notes which deal with specific areas of procedure.
Copies are obtainable on request.
Any applicant who does not wish to proceed with an application for review should seek leave from the Tribunal to withdraw the application and also seek the consent of any other party or parties to leave being granted. In many cases the Tribunal will arrange a conference between the parties. Directions Hearings are conducted for the purpose of the making of appropriate directions for the further conduct of applications. On occasions where it is anticipated that the mediation process might bring about early resolution or partial resolution, applications are referred to mediation. In most cases the applicant presents his or her case first.
