This section has no associated Explanatory Memorandum
27.—(1) The solicitor to the inquiry must make an initial assessment of the award within twenty-one days of the referral by the chairman.
(2) Where the solicitor to the inquiry determines that the full amount applied for by the applicant should be paid, the initial assessment of the amount of the award is also the final assessment.
(3) If the applicant disagrees with the initial assessment of the amount of the award, or a part of it, he must notify the solicitor to the inquiry of this as soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event within twenty-one days of the date on which the initial assessment of the amount of the award is sent to the applicant.
(4) Where the applicant has not responded within twenty-one days of the date the initial assessment of the award being sent to the applicant, the solicitor to the inquiry must issue the final assessment.
(5) An initial or final assessment made by the solicitor to the inquiry must be in writing and sent to the applicant and his recognised legal representative, if he has one.
