SUMMARY OF DECISION

34 Tribunal Procedure and Practice

34.7 Record of proceedings

41.1 Personal Independence Payment: general

This appeal is mainly about the requirement for the judge to make a record of proceedings and what that record must show. In this appeal the audio recording of the hearing failed so it recorded only part of the proceedings, and the judge contemplates that the record of proceedings might be comprised of multiple documents.

Please note that the Summary of Decision is included for the convenience of readers. It does not form part of the decision. The Decision and Reasons of the judge follow.
