Clarification in respect of appeal in regard to non-constitution of Appellate Tribunal

Appeal to Appellate Tribunal now timed from when the Tribunal president assumes office, enabling disposal of pending appeals.

Appeals from adjudicating authority orders must be preferred to the designated appellate authority per rule 109A; appeals from those appellate authorities lie to the Appellate Tribunal under section 112. Because the Appellate Tribunal has not been constituted, the Ninth Removal of Difficulties Order provides that the limitation for filing to the Tribunal will be counted from the date the President or State President of the Appellate Tribunal enters office. Appellate authorities should therefore dispose pending appeals expeditiously and may record in orders that appeals can be filed to the Tribunal within the prescribed period from the President or State President assuming office.
