Chapter 3 : Applications

43. Notice to affected persons and association

 

(1) Unless an application is rejected, the ombud must serve notice on—
(a) the association; and
(b) each person the ombud considers to be affected materially by the application.

 

(2) The notice contemplated in subsection (1) must—
(a) include details of the parties to the dispute and the relief sought in terms of the application;
(b) include details of the place and times where the documentation relating to the application can be inspected;
(c) confirm whether or not the application qualifies for a discount or waiver of adjudication fees;
(d) invite written submissions with regard to the application; and
(e) draw attention in the prescribed form to the right to legal representation as contemplated in section 52.

 

(3) If the application affects owners or occupiers generally, or a particular category of owners or occupiers, the ombud need not serve a copy of the notice on each affected person individually, but may instead serve notice in a way that ensures, as far as is reasonably practicable, that the notice comes to the attention of all owners or occupiers or all members of that particular category.
