2.12(1) If the Board or a person who receives a notice of appeal under rule 2.11 [Notice to persons directly affected] wishes to participate in the appeal, they must
- complete the notice of participation prescribed form, and
- file it with the Appeals Commission within 14 days of the date the Appeals Commission notifies them of the appeal under rule 2.11 [Notice to persons directly affected].
(2) If a completed notice of participation prescribed form is not filed in time, or if the person does not apply to extend the 14 day time limit before it expires, that person or the Board, as the case may be, is presumed not to wish to be a party or to participate in the appeal and the Appeals Commission may proceed in the absence of the Board or person without further notice to them.
