Summary
At first instance (see BL O/265/07) the Hearing Officer had allowed evidence to be corrected and an extension of time in which to file it. The applicant appealed to the Appointed Person.
The appointed Person, having reviewed the earlier decision, upheld it and dismissed the appeal. The evidence stages were not yet completed and the quality of that evidence should be considered at the conclusion of the procedure.
