What is served to the Registrar when an appeal is made?

The correct answer is the notice of appeal, which is a formal document that an appellant submits to indicate their intention to challenge a decision made by a regulatory body or tribunal. This document outlines the basis for the appeal and informs the Registrar that an appeal process has been initiated.

In most cases, the notice of appeal serves to ensure that all parties are formally notified of the appeal and the grounds for it, setting the framework for the review process. By filing a notice of appeal, the appellant is adhering to procedural requirements that are essential for advancing their case within the legal or administrative system.

Other documents, such as a letter of intent or a request for review, might not provide clear grounds specific to the appeal and may not be sufficient to initiate the formal appeal process. Similarly, a final decision report may summarize the outcomes but does not trigger the appeal itself; it is often produced after an appeal has been resolved or as part of the original decision process. Thus, the notice of appeal is the essential document that serves to initiate an appeal and communicates the necessary legal intent to the Registrar.
