The applicant appealed refused an adjournment of his appeal against termination of his entitlement to National Insurance credits, to allow him to bring additional medical evidence.
Held: The jurisdiction to hear an appeal lay in the regulations. Those allowed an appeal against a decision, but not against a determination. A decision was an outcome of the case, a determination was any one of the many decisions made during the course of a hearing which would lead to a decision. The decision not to adjourn was a determination, and no right of appeal existed.
