What are the exclusion dates?
Exclusion dates are days when the Tribunal is closed for business and is unable to process appeals. An ARE date can’t fall on a weekend or an exclusion date
For example, if the type of decision and appeal stage permits the person 14 days to make an appeal, but that date is a bank holiday Monday, the ARE date will be the following suitable date. In most cases, this would be the Tuesday (as long as the Tuesday isn’t also an Exclusion date).
The calculator factors exclusion dates into its calculations. The following exclusion dates have been added to the ARE calculator for each of the following countries:
