An immigration appeal tribunal which delivered its decision out of time had the power under the rules to grant to itself an extension of time to allow the judgment to be delivered. It was not essential that reasons be given for such an extension, nor that the parties be given an opportunity to be heard as to such an extension. There were powerful reasons for expecting a tribunal normally to give such reasons, but their absence did not make the decision a nullity.
