Hi

I have sent an email to the appeals inbox. My email gives more detail, I wanted to know if you thought it was ok for the panel to have access to information that I have not been given.

Thanks

Hi Dids

It appears to be contrary to natural justice and a breach of the Code:

Guiding principles for appeal panels

2.21 Appeal panels must operate according to the principles of natural justice. Those most
directly relevant to appeals are:
a) members of the panel must not have a vested interest in the outcome, or any involvement in an earlier stage, of the proceedings;
b) each side must be given the opportunity to state their case without unreasonable interruption; and
c) written material and evidence must have been seen by all the parties.

It depends what has been recorded in the clerk's notes, but if your appeal were to be unsuccessful, it would be worth making a complaint to the ombudsman or EFA as appropriate to see what they think:
