SIAC, late appeals and inappropriate ones

8/12/2019

0 Comments

 
The Commission have released a new and updated practice direction in relation to what has been identified as "​increasing numbers of late appeals and improperly instituted appeals."

Paragraph 16 sets out what it expects from the Appellants representatives, which includes "It is the responsibility of appellants’ representatives to fill in the notice of appeal accurately and completely. This includes accurately recording the date of service of the notice of the decision which is challenged (by reference, where appropriate, to any applicable rules about service), and calculating when the time for lodging the appeal expired. Those exercises must be done in accordance with the Rules (see 9, 11, 10 and 13, above). It is not acceptable for appellants’ representatives to leave this work to the Commission or to GLD." and not leaving boxes blank. 

Paragraph 26 onwards makes clear that the Commission expect a legal representative to have the authority of the Appellant to file an appeal and completed it in accordance with their instructions. 

These directions which appear to be stating the obvious appear to be a start towards placing further hurdles in the way particularly of solicitors in these matters.
