(i)the case number;
(ii)the date the Secretary received the notice of appeal;
(iii)the name and address of the appellant;
(iv)the name and address of the respondent;
(v)the place where the appeal is to be held; and

(c)inform the parties in writing of the case number of the appeal entered in the Register (which shall thereafter constitute the title of the proceedings) and of the address to which notices and other communications to the Secretary shall be sent.
Modifications to Article 26 were made by S.I. 1984/1159 (N.I. 9) and by S.R. 2000 No. 87, the latter of which under specific circumstances extended the meaning of “employee” and “at work” for the purposes of Regulations made under Part II of the Order of 1978. Further modifications were made by S.R. 2000 No. 120, which extended the definitions of “work” and “at work” for the purposes of Part II of that Order
