EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note does not form part of the Rules)

These Rules amend the Plant Varieties and Seeds Tribunal Rules 1974 (S.I.1974/1136) as they apply to England and Wales to reflect the making of the Forest

Reproductive Material (Great Britain) Regulations 2002 (“the Regulations”) (S.I. 2002/3026). The latter provide for appeals to the Tribunal on a number of grounds.

The amendments update the prescribed forms used in the appeal process and update the references in the Rules to the Forest Reproductive Material Regulations

1977, which the Regulations replace. The amendments also allow for evidence in the form of forest reproductive material to be brought before the Tribunal.
