What happens at an oral hearing?
The procedure for the oral hearing is explained before discussions begin. The people in attendance are introduced and the issue being appealed is confirmed. The parties make their presentations, submit evidence, and question each other's evidence. The Hearing Officer or Appeal Panel questions the parties and their witnesses. All questions must be relevant to the issue under appeal.
The Hearing Officer or Appeal Panel bases its decision on the information presented, and on written submissions. The panel sends all parties its decision in writing.
