Check that the protest or request is valid.
- (a) Are the contents adequate (rule 60.3(a), 61.2(a) or 63.7(b))?
- (b) Was it delivered in time? If not, is there good reason to extend the time limit (rule 60.3(b), 61.2(b) or 63.7(b))?
- (c) When required, was the protestor involved in or a witness to the incident (rule 60.4(a)(2))?
- (d) When necessary, was ‘Protest’ hailed and, if required, a red flag displayed correctly (rule 60.2(a)(1))?
- (e) When the flag or hail was not necessary, was the protestee informed (rule 60.2(b))?
- (f) Decide whether the protest or request for redress is valid (rule 63.4(a)).
- (g) Once the validity of the protest or request has been determined, do not let the subject be introduced again unless truly new evidence is available.
