Final submissions by way of a summary and any factual or legal arguments may be put by each party to the Tribunal after all of the evidence has been given. The Chairperson will direct the order of submissions. There may be a direction that the submissions be in writing.
(Practice Direction 10.8)
In most cases the Tribunal members will inspect the site, without the parties.
The Tribunal normally reserves its decision as it has to be given in writing with reasons.
The decision is posted to the parties.
The Tribunal may make a decision allowing the appeal and varying the decision appealed from or setting it aside; or dismissing the appeal.
The Tribunal must also make an order as to costs of the appeal.
There is a right of appeal from the Tribunal to the Supreme Court, but only on a question of law, not a question of fact or the merits of the appeal. The time for an appeal is within 28 days from the date of final decision.
The Tribunal will not be involved as a party, in any appeal to the Supreme Court.
