EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Rules)
These Rules make amendments to the Gambling Appeals Tribunal Rules 2006 [S.I. 2006/3293] (‘Tribunal Rules'). The Tribunal Rules set out the practice and procedure to be followed in proceedings before the Gambling Appeals Tribunal established by the Gambling Act 2005 (c.19). These Rules are made in consequence of defects in the Tribunal Rules and will be issued free of charge to all known recipients of the Tribunal Rules.
In rule 5(2)(f) the words "which may be by e-mail" are unnecessary because of rule 42.
The amendments made to rule 41 (calculation of time) ensure that where a time for doing an act under the Rules is 10 days or less only "working days" should be counted as being a day. Consequential amendments have been made to rules 2(2) and 26(2)(b) and amendments have been made to rules 17(8) and 33(2) to correct typing errors.
The amendments to rule 22(6) provide that a member of the Council on Tribunals or its Scottish Committee should have the right to attend any proceedings that are to be held in private.
