Written Submissions and Witness Evidence

In Simple Terms

Before an F1 hearing takes place, the President directs both sides to submit their written arguments and witness statements in advance. This allows everyone to prepare properly and ensures all evidence and documents are reviewed before the hearing begins.

• Written submissions must be exchanged between parties before the hearing
• Witness statements are submitted in written form ahead of time
• The Hearing President issues directions to organize this document exchange
• All document copies are introduced and available at the actual hearing
