Can I ask for my hearing to proceed by teleconference or in writing, if I cant appear in person?
Yes, you may do so. However, the Tribunal and the other party(ies) must consent to your request. A written hearing requires both parties to file written documentation, evidence and arguments by set deadlines. An electronic hearing is conducted like an oral hearing but by telephone conference with all parties present by telephone (at a prearranged telephone number given to the Tribunal in advance). When the parties bring witnesses at the hearing, the hearing will proceed in person, even if the parties to a written hearing or a teleconference.
