Frequently asked questions

Does the court examine everything afresh?

The scope of review depends on the type of proceeding and the grounds; it does not always involve rehearing the entire case.

Can new evidence be submitted?

The possibility is limited and depends on the proceeding and the explanation for why the material was not previously before the Authority.
