Rent assessment committee

[4] The president or vice-president of a panel may direct that certain cases, or classes of cases, may be heard by a single chairman sitting alone[5] and any application to cancel a registered rent because the property is no longer subject to a restricted contract will be heard by a single chairman.[6] An appeal may be made, usually on a point of law only, to the High Court of England and Wales.The procedure is governed by the Rent Assessment Committees (England and Wales) Regulations 1971 (SI 1065/1971), which has been amended a number of times since.In cases where the administrative staff do not believe that they have jurisdiction they will refer the matter to the RAC to determine this point.Assuming that the committee accepts that it has the necessary jurisdiction to make a decision it will set down the matter for a hearing.
