RE: late appeals - asserting 'reasonable prospects of success'
Mon 20-Oct-08 01:56 PM |
I have a standard paragraph I use at the end of the appeal letter, which, after outlining the substantive issues, goes:
“In order for a late appeal to be admitted a claimant does not have to show that the case has real prospects of success but merely reasonable prospects of success, a much lower threshold, which, we submit, is highly arguable given the circumstances. If it is conceded that the case is at least arguable then it obviously has reasonable prospects of success”.
Feel free to use if it suits.
