13.—(1) Where the appellant has made an application under rule 4(7) to the Tribunal for a direction under rule 12(e) to allow an appeal to be made after the time limit for doing so has expired, the Tribunal, subject to paragraph (2), must consider whether—
(a)the decision notice notified the appellant properly and effectively of the Regulator’s decision; and
(b)the appellant had been notified, whether in the decision notice or otherwise, of the existence of the right to make the appeal and of the time limit for making the appeal.
(2) The Tribunal must not allow the appeal to proceed under this rule unless it considers that it is in the interests of justice to do so.
