§ Mr. LOUGHasked the Secretary to the Local Government Board whether there is a time limit of three days to appeal against the decision of a local tribunal; whether it is in the power of the military representative to lodge an appeal after such a time has expired; and whether the military representative is justified in lodging an appeal in any case in which he took no objection to the decision of the local tribunal at the time that it was delivered?
§ Mr. HAYES FISHERThe Regulations and Instructions provide that an appeal may be made from the decision of the local tribunal not later than three clear days after the date on which the written decision of the local tribunal has been sent. The local tribunal may, however, allow a late appeal, for good reasons shown. The military representative as well as the applicant may lodge a late appeal; it is for the local tribunal to decide whether it should be allowed. There is no provision in the Regulations or Instructions which prevents a military representative from lodging an appeal in a case in which he did not take exception to the decision of the local tribunal at the time when it was delivered.
