PART IV General

Notification of decision

12.—(1) After the Tribunal has made its decision on the appeal (including so far as relevant on any steps to be taken under section 23(2) of the Act as applied by section 30(11)(c) of the Act), it shall announce that decision and shall thereupon close the hearing; and as soon as practicable after that announcement the clerk shall notify in writing—

(a) the appellant of the Tribunal’s decision and its reasons for reaching it, and of the appellant’s right of appeal on a point of law under section 31 of the Act; and

(b) the Council and, in the case of an allegation appeal, the person making the allegation of the Tribunal’s decision and its reasons for reaching it.

(2) If the Tribunal dismisses an appeal under Rules 7(1) or 10(5) because the appellant has not appeared, as soon as practicable after so doing the clerk shall notify in writing the appellant, the Council and (in the case of an allegation appeal) the person making the allegation of that fact.

Service and giving of documents

13.—(1) Any notice, document or other matter to be given to or served on the appellant by the clerk under these Rules may be served by sending it by a postal service in which delivery or receipt is recorded to, or leaving it at, the address of the appellant as appearing in the register pursuant to section 6(1)(b) of the Act, or if his last known place of residence differs from his address in the register and it appears to the clerk that, if the notice, document or other matter is sent to or left at that place of residence, it is more likely to reach him, it may be served by sending it by such a postal service to or leaving it at his last known place of residence.

(2) Any other notice, document or other matter to be given to or served on a person under these Rules may be sent by ordinary post.
