Documents

9.—(1) Before the date of a hearing, the tribunal shall take all reasonable steps to ensure that each of the parties and persons making representations is given—

(a) a copy of, or sufficient extracts from or particulars of, any document relevant to the proceedings which has been received from a party or person making representations (other than a document already in the possession of that party or one of which he has previously been supplied with a copy); and

(b) a copy of any document which embodies the results of any enquiries made by or for the tribunal for the purposes of the proceedings.

(2) At a hearing, if a person appearing before the tribunal does not have in his possession a relevant document or a copy of, or sufficient extracts from or particulars of, a relevant document, then unless—

(a) that person consents to the continuation of the hearing; or

(b) the tribunal consider that that person has a sufficient opportunity to deal with the document without an adjournment of the hearing,

the tribunal shall adjourn the hearing for a period which they consider will give that person a sufficient opportunity to deal with the document.
