As set out in Commissioner Minute 1, submitters who have indicated they wish to be heard have been allocated 15 minutes to present their submission.

Where possible, the hearings administration team will endeavour to cater for submitters time constraints; however, this will not be possible in all circumstances.

Commissioner Minute 1 sets out the hearings protocol and confirms the detail of hearings, how requests for additional time or attendance should be made and a summary of the relevant timeframes for the exchange of evidence.

Once the timetable is completed, we will send the timetable to you with the time you have been allocated, location and date.  As the hearing panel have indicated, please arrive 30 minutes prior to your allocated time.

The hearings were held 17-18 July 2023.
