The appellant and the charging authority are entitled to appear at the hearing of an appeal.

Any other person may appear at a hearing at the discretion of the adjudicator.

At the hearing of an appeal, the appellant may conduct the appellant’s case in person (with assistance from any person if the appellant wishes) or may be represented by a solicitor, counsel or any other person.

If in any particular case the adjudicator is satisfied that there are sufficient reasons for doing so, the adjudicator may prohibit a particular person from assisting or representing either party at the hearing.
