80 Making of internal appeals

(1) An appeal against an internally appealable decision may be made to an Appeal Panel by a party to the proceedings in which the decision is made.

Note : Internal appeals are required to be heard by the Tribunal constituted as an Appeal Panel. See section 27(1).

(2) Any internal appeal may be made--

(a) in the case of an interlocutory decision of the Tribunal at first instance--with the leave of the Appeal Panel, and

(b) in the case of any other kind of decision (including an ancillary decision) of the Tribunal at first instance--as of right on any question of law, or with the leave of the Appeal Panel, on any other grounds.

(3) The Appeal Panel may--

(a) decide to deal with the internal appeal by way of a new hearing if it considers that the grounds for the appeal warrant a new hearing, and

(b) permit such fresh evidence, or evidence in addition to or in substitution for the evidence received by the Tribunal at first instance, to be given in the new hearing as it considers appropriate in the circumstances.
