Rehearings and appeals
Applying for a rehearing
You can apply for a Disputes Tribunal rehearing if you believe you have good grounds for it. You will need to provide reasons and evidence to support your application. This will be dealt with by the referee who heard the original case. An application for rehearing should be made within 28 days of the Tribunal’s order.
Filing an appeal
If you feel the referee conducted your hearing in a way that was unfair and prejudiced your case, you can file an appeal against an order of the Tribunal. This should be filed at the Disputes Tribunal in the District Court within 28 days of the Tribunal order being made. A judge in the District Court decides whether or not there are grounds for appeal.
If the order is not complied with
If an order resulting from a Tribunal decision isn’t complied with you can apply to have it enforced. Contact the Collections Unit at your local District Court.
