the Minister is satisfied that the appellant has habitually and persistently, and without any reasonable ground —
made vexatious appeals to the Minister; or
made vexatious applications in the appeal proceedings or other appeal proceedings before the Minister; or
the appellant has, without reasonable excuse, failed to comply with the time delimited by any provision of these Regulations for the submission of any notice, document or other information in the appeal proceedings, or with any direction of the Minister under these Regulations.
