Regulation 13

A party may make an application to the Chairperson, any Deputy Chairperson authorised by the Chairperson, or the appeal panel for a hearing to be transcribed, and for a certified copy of the transcript.

The application under paragraph (1) must be made not later than 14 days before the hearing.

Despite paragraph (2), the Chairperson, Deputy Chairperson or appeal panel (as the case may be) may approve an application under paragraph (1) even if it is made less than 14 days before the hearing.

The party or parties making an application under paragraph (1) must bear the costs of the transcription.

If no party makes an application under paragraph (1), the Chairperson, Deputy Chairperson or appeal panel (as the case may be) may order for the hearing to be transcribed.

A transcript of a hearing must be certified in the manner that the Chairperson, Deputy Chairperson or appeal panel (as the case may be) determines, and in accordance with practice directions issued under regulation 22(2).

The costs of the transcription may be claimed as an item of disbursement unless otherwise ordered by the appeal panel, the Registrar, the Deputy Registrar or an Assistant Registrar of the Supreme Court or the Registrar or a Deputy Registrar of the State Courts, as the case may be.
