Records of hearing

You, your nominated support person, personal guardian, legal representative, and some others can ask for a copy of the recording. You won’t get a copy if your hearing was adjourned, but you can request it after a final decision is made. Usually, you will receive an audio record, but on some occasions, you will get a written copy instead.

If you would like a record of your hearing, please fill out the Request for Record of Hearing form and send it to the Tribunal. You can find a copy of the form here. The Tribunal will email you with more information once they receive your request.

The audio will not give you reasons for the Tribunal decision. You must request a statement of reasons for more information on the decision.

There are rules and responsibilities for you, the Tribunal and others about how records can and cannot be used. For example, they cannot be uploaded on to social media.

Usually, a transcript will not be provided. If you want one, you will need to tell the Tribunal why you need the written record instead of the audio.
