Appeals are heard during the day, Monday to Friday term time only. Hearings start about 9.30am and you will hear between 1-8 appeals per day. Hearings usually finish by 5pm (if a full day) but can over run. Hearings can be single day hearings or multi day. There is no minimum amount of commitment required as it is accepted this will vary person to person but some commitment during the busy period from late April to late July each year is expected. This can be discussed in more detail
