Hearing of appeals procedure permits disposal on merits if appellant absent, with restoration on showing sufficient cause. Rule 16 requires the appellant to be heard and permits the Tribunal to hear the Board or its authorised representative with an appellant's reply; written arguments may be supplemented by time bound oral submissions. Temporary absence of a Presiding Officer permits authorisation of another Member to hear the Board. If the appellant does not appear, the Tribunal may dispose of the appeal on merits, but must set aside any ex parte order and restore the appeal if the appellant later shows sufficient cause for non appearance.
