Appeal a call up to the reserve forces

Skip contents

If you're unhappy with the decision

You cannot appeal if you lose the case.

In exceptional circumstances, you may be able to ask for the tribunal to review its decision, for example if:

  • new evidence becomes available
  • the Secretary of Tribunals made a mistake in the proceedings
  • someone had the right to attend the hearing but could not, and had a valid reason for doing so
  • something else has gone wrong that’s made the process or decision unfair (known as a review ‘in the interests of justice’)

You can get legal advice, including from a lawyer, if you need help.

Write to the Secretary of Tribunals within 5 days of getting the decision.

  • change the decision
