Commentary on provisions of the Act Section 49: Appeals in relation to suspensive claims: timing
Subsections (1) to (3) provide that the Tribunal Procedure Committee must introduce procedure rules in the Asylum and Immigration Chamber which set out the time limits for the appeals process. This includes a period of seven working days for a claimant to submit an appeal or to apply for permission to appeal; a period of 23 working days for the Upper Tribunal to make a decision on an appeal; and a period of seven working days to determine an application for permission to appeal under section 45(2) or 46(2)).
	Subsection (4) provides that the Upper Tribunal may extend the prescribed time limits where it is the only way to secure that justice is done in a particular case.
