Create an appeal book

The appeal book is a document that contains a copy of:

• any order the Commission made about the case
• a copy of the decision
• the statement of the reasons for the decision (we may publish these as one document or separately)
• a transcript from the original case, or a relevant extract from the transcript
• a copy of each document from the original proceedings that relates to the reason for your appeal.

You must number the pages in your appeal book.

If you have questions about preparing your appeal book, please contact the chambers of the Commission Member who is dealing with your appeal, or contact us.

You must lodge the appeal book with your Form F7 or no more than 7 days after you lodge form F7.

If your appeal book is a printed document and you submit by mail or in person, you must submit 3 copies, which we give to the Members of the Full Bench.

No more than 7 days after you lodge the appeal book, you must serve a copy on the other parties. The parties are the individuals and organisations directly involved in the case.

Don't forget to bring your own copy of the appeal book to the hearing.
