Course outline
This three day course is ideal for those who need to find their way around the law to represent at appeal tribunals. The first day considers how legislation is structured and gives practical experience using resources ( CPAG handbook and legislation volumes) to help interpret the law. The next two days look at researching, preparing and representing before an appeal tribunal. Using practical examples, the course concludes with a ‘mock’ tribunal session.
