London Tribunal personal hearings morphing into hearings by
video

:( :'(
As I joked with Mr Chan and mrmustard the other day, will I need
make up? If so, I hope this will be less expensive than my
train fares.
This is quite sad, actually, as I like the journey and it gets
me out of the house. Last but not least, the personal
interactions will be sorely missed.

Hippocrates while video hearings will be the default, you'll
still be able to ask for a face to face hearing.

No they're not, costs awards are exceptionally rare.

I very much appreciate the personal hearing. I've been to a few
and have won every case so far. the last one I had was on the
phone and was very helpful, again I won. (Station Road Barking).
I don't like video meetings.

Admission to a hearing
8.—(1) Subject to the provisions of this paragraph, a hearing
shall be held in public.
(2) The adjudicator may direct that the whole or any part of a
hearing be held in private if he is satisfied that it is just
and reasonable for him so to do by reason of —
(a)the likelihood of disclosure of intimate personal or
financial circumstances;
(b)the likelihood of disclosure of commercially sensitive
information or information obtained in confidence; or
(c)exceptional circumstances not falling within paragraph (a) or
(b).
(3) The following persons shall be entitled to attend the
hearing of an appeal which is held in private—
(a)any other adjudicator; and
(b)(for the purpose of discharging his functions as a member of
that Council) a member of the Council on Tribunals.
(4) The adjudicator, with the consent of the parties, may permit
any other person to attend the hearing of an appeal which is
held in private or, where part of it is so held, that part.
(5) Without prejudice to any other powers he may have, an
adjudicator may exclude from the hearing of an appeal, or part
of it, any person whose conduct has disrupted or is likely, in
the opinion of the adjudicator, to disrupt the hearing.

[member=1]cp8759[/member] [member=7]mrmustard[/member] The other
Musketeer may wish to give his views here as I am not at all
clear that he and I are given or interpreting the information
the same way. Also, does the TPT allow face to face hearings?
In any event, where is this published? I also gather that
February 2nd is the deadline and then any rescheduled hearing
after that date will be via video?

Presumably the video hearings offer protection for the
Adjudicators from irate appellants after losing their cases.
I was at a hearing in Ashford many years ago and the case before
mine went in; there was a lot of shouting during the case which
suddenly ended with a very very irate appellant leaving the room
having lost his case. the Adjudicator looked rather shaken when
I went in.

I also like visiting tribunal but it does take a fair chunk out
of my day.
I'm planning to spend more time abroad, probably all of April,
and I could still do video meetings from abroad so they are
useful.
I'm waiting to see how this pans out as I am currently scheduled
in person and on video at the same time on 26 February.
Partly my future hearings will be dictated by which adjudicators
are still going to sit in person at a hearing centre (think the
new one is at Cannon St which is still easy for me on the
Northern Line) as if they aren't on my preferred list I will
want to try and avoid them anyway.
For me, the jury is out.
I think the one thing that all experts agree on is don't do
postal hearings as they can go wrong.
