Regulation 24

Upon making its determination in accordance with section 36(2) of the Act, the appeal authority must notify the parties to the appeal of the determination and, for this purpose, instruct the Secretary or the Registrar (as the case may be) to give to the parties a copy of the written determination which is duly signed by the appeal authority.

In addition to paragraph (1), where the appeal authority is an Appeal Panel, the appeal authority may also deliver its determination orally to the parties in its entirety or as a summary, before the Secretary or the Registrar (as the case may be) provides the parties with a copy of the written determination.

For the purpose of paragraph (2), the Presiding Member must make the oral delivery and it is not necessary for the members of the Appeal Panel to reassemble merely for the oral delivery.

Where the Appeal Panel’s decision is the decision of a majority, that fact must be stated.
