PART 6Correcting, Setting Aside, Reviewing and Appealing Tribunal Decisions

Tribunal's consideration of application for permission to appeal53

1

On receiving an application for permission to appeal the Tribunal must first consider, taking into account the overriding objective in rule 3, whether to review the decision in accordance with rule 55 (review of a decision).

2

If the Tribunal decides not to review the decision, or reviews the decision and decides to take no action in relation to the decision, or part of it, the Tribunal must consider whether to give permission to appeal in relation to the decision or that part of it.

3

The Tribunal must send a record of its decision to the parties as soon as practicable.

4

If the Tribunal refuses permission to appeal it must send with the record of its decision—

a

a statement of its reasons for such refusal; and

b

notification of the right to make an application to the Upper Tribunal for permission to appeal and the time within which, and the method by which, such application must be made.

5

The Tribunal may give permission to appeal on limited grounds, but must comply with paragraph (4) in relation to any grounds on which it has refused permission.
