As for how long the tribunal lasts we can be very specific about that. You should be listed for at least 40 minutes and can ask for longer if, for example, the appellant can’t read the appeal bundle and therefore has to rely on audio. It will make things harder to follow and thus slower. As they’re registered they are deemed disabled under EA 10 and can ask for reasonable adjustments like tribunal length. They should also make a thing in advance in writing and asking that the tribunal members identify themselves by name or role each time they speak. That will instantly reinforce the facial recognition angle but also it’s needed. If you have a female GP and a female judge how do you know which one is which when speaking?
