Type C reviews enable you to go directly to a hearing if your position and that of the elector or any other person is clear, and a hearing to decide the matter is more practicable than a type A or type B review by correspondence.
Type C reviews can be completed in a shorter timescale than types A and B and so may be particularly appropriate close to a determination deadline, for example, ahead of an election.
The notice to the elector must state all of the following:1
your intention to hold a hearing
the reasons for the review
the time and place of the hearing
The notice should include:
the date of sending
a statement explaining that written representations are allowed
an explanation of who is entitled to attend the hearing
Following the hearing, you must notify the elector of the outcome of the review and state whether there is a right of appeal, including:2
the time within which notice of appeal must be given
any other information about the appeal that you consider appropriate
