INTERESTED PERSONS (continued)

Combined appeals

If the PPF Ombudsman receives similar appeals from more than one person against a scheme notification decision or a scheme eligibility decision, he may decide to deal with them together. In practice this will mean that his final decision applies to all the appeals which have been combined.

You may object to the proposal to combine appeals by writing to the PPF Ombudsman within 28 days beginning with the date when the proposal to combine appeals was publicised. This date is shown alongside the appeal concerned.

You must also explain (if you have not previously done so) why you think you are an interested person and include evidence in support where available. If you have read our Guidance Note - Interested Persons who are not treated as Parties to the Appeal (Adobe Acrobat PDF - 50Kb, PDF Help) and believe that you are an interested person and now wish to complete an application form to satisfy the Ombudsman that you are an interested person, please go to our Forms page.

If the PPF Ombudsman agrees that you are an interested person, your objection will be considered, and we will let you know the outcome. You will then be treated as a party to the appeal. If you are not an interested person your objection will not be considered.

For details of appeals against scheme eligibility decisions and scheme notification decisions, which the PPF Ombudsman proposes to combine, see Current Appeals.
