F17A Correction of errors and setting aside of decisions.

1

Regulations may make provision with respect to—

a

the correction of accidental errors in any decision or record of a decision under section 3, 3A or 4 of this Act; and

b

the setting aside of any such decision in a case where it appears just to set the decision aside on the ground that—

i

a document relating to the proceedings in which the decision was given was not sent to, or was not received at an appropriate time by, a party to the proceedings or a party’s representative or was not received at an appropriate time by the body or person who gave the decision; or

ii

a party to the proceedings or a party’s representative was not present at a hearing related to the proceedings.

2

Nothing in subsection (1) shall be construed as derogating from any power to correct errors or set aside decisions which is exercisable apart from regulations made by virtue of that subsection.
