Response one

Question 1

Please tell us which organisation you represent (providing this information is optional).

Scottish Hospitality Group.

Question 2

How far in advance do you think the Scottish Tribunals should aim to publish hearing dates?

Answer

No response.

Question 3

If is not possible to publish the full detail of individual upcoming hearings far in advance, what detail about the hearings would be of most use, for instance: property type, area, etc.?

Answer

Property Type - Sector - Area

Question 4

Are there particular dates when you think that hearings should not be scheduled, for instance: days when Council Tax hearings in the same area are scheduled, particular dates in a revaluation cycle, etc.?

Answer

This will vary depending on sectors appealing. For example hospitality appeals in December when normally the business owner will be busy. Appreciated that this could prove difficult.

Yes I would be interested in joining or continuing my membership of this group.
