More about the Subject

The Hearing Officer should be contacted in good time in advance (at least six weeks before the envisaged hearing date) to discuss a tentative date of the hearing. The Hearing Officer, after consultation with the Director responsible, determines the precise date(s), duration and place of the oral hearing. He is also in charge of informing the parties accordingly (see further in the Module Right to be heard).
