Applying for Reconsideration of Refusal to Grant Permission for Section 103 Application
Rule 16 of the Welsh Language Tribunal Rules 2015 (‘the Rules’)
Where a party makes an application for a review of a decision by the Welsh Language Commissioner under section 103 of the Welsh Language (Wales) Measure 2011, the Tribunal is required in accordance with rule 16 of the Rules to decide whether to grant permission for the application to be made.
The grounds on which permission will be granted are that the Tribunal considers that the application would have a reasonable prospect of success, or there is some other compelling reason why the application should be heard.
If the Tribunal does not consider that either of those grounds apply, it will refuse permission for the application. Alternatively, if the application is based on more than one ground, the Tribunal may decide to give permission limited only to those grounds which it considers have a reasonable prospect of success or there is some other compelling reason why they should be heard.
A party may require the Tribunal, at a hearing, to reconsider the refusal of permission for the application, or the decision to give permission for the application in respect of some grounds only.
The applicant must notify the Tribunal in writing of that requirement no later than 14 days after the date on which the applicant was notified of the refusal of permission for the application, or the decision to give permission for the application in respect of some grounds only.
