What is a hearing?
It is an opportunity for anyone with a genuine and continuing interest in the matter to put their views forward and have them considered by the Tribunal. Parties are always encouraged to put their views in writing to the Tribunal prior to the hearing.
A Tribunal hearing is generally when Tribunal Members hear oral evidence and examine documents about an application. In some instances, it may be decided that an application does not need to go to an oral hearing where parties attend to give oral evidence and the application can be dealt with on the written material alone. If this is the case, all parties who have previously been contacted will be notified by mail that they are not required to attend but should put their views in writing to the Tribunal.
