Hi everybody

Does anyone know if the Appeal process is being affected by the Convid-19 situation, i.e. the oral hearing. Has anyone had their oral in person appeal cancelled?

It would be interesting to know if they are still hearing appeals especially as they are taking so long.

Hi Wing

We haven't heard anything yet, but whether any member has heard about theirs I do not know.

Just picked this information from Nearly Legal website
