Adjournment of hearing

9.—(1) A hearing may be adjourned by the person carrying out the review at any time, either on that person’s own initiative or at the request of the tenant, his representative or the landlord.

(2) Where more than one person is carrying out the review by way of an oral hearing, the hearing shall be adjourned on each occasion on which any of those persons is absent, unless the tenant or his representative agrees otherwise.

(3) The landlord must give the tenant reasonable notice of the date, time and place of the adjourned hearing.

(4) If the person carrying out the review at the adjourned hearing is not the same person as the person who was carrying out the review at the earlier hearing, the review shall proceed by way of a complete rehearing of the case unless the tenant, or his representative, agrees otherwise.
