Part A: considering interim measures
- The purpose of this Part of Section two: IMT hearings is to support fair and consistent decision making by tribunals in relation to whether an interim measure is needed and where it is, what the proportionate measure is. It applies to interim measure tribunals (IMTs) and also associates tribunals 9ATs), where the AT is considering imposing an interim measure during a hearing that is being held to determine an allegation that a PA or AA’s fitness to practise is impaired.
- The process for considering an interim measure that a tribunal should follow is illustrated in the diagram below.
- Whilst the diagram represents each key consideration for the tribunal as a step, in practice the parties will submit evidence and make one set of submissions on whether it is necessary to make an interim measure and if so, the type and length. Having then considered all relevant matters, the tribunal will provide one written decision.
