Recall

30.—(1) In relation to applications mentioned in Chapters 4, 6, 8, 11 and 12 of Part 3 of these Rules, a party may apply to the First-tier Tribunal to have a decision recalled where the First-tier Tribunal made the decision in absence because that party did not take part in the proceedings, or failed to appear or be represented at a hearing following which the decision was made.

(2) An application by a party to have a decision recalled must be made in writing to the First-tier Tribunal and must state why it would be in the interests of justice for the decision to be recalled.

(3) An application for recall may not be made unless a copy of the application has been sent to the other parties at the same time.

(5) The First-tier Tribunal may, on cause shown, extend the period of 14 days mentioned in paragraph (4).

(6) A party may apply for recall in the same proceedings on one occasion only.

(7) An application for recall will have the effect of preventing any further action being taken by any other party to enforce the decision for which recall is sought until the application is determined under paragraph (9).

(8) A party may oppose recall of a decision by—

(a) lodging with the First-tier Tribunal a statement of objection within 10 days of receiving the copy as required under paragraph (3); and

(b) sending a copy of the statement to any other party,

at the same time.
