1 Where Part 2 or 3 of these Rules applies to an appeal or application, the Tribunal must order that that Part shall cease to apply—
(a) if all the parties consent;
(b) if it is satisfied by evidence filed or given by or on behalf of a party that there are exceptional circumstances which mean that the appeal or application cannot otherwise be justly determined; or
(c) if—
(i) the respondent to the appeal has failed to comply with a provision of these Rules, or the Principal Rules as applied by these Rules, or a direction of the Tribunal; and
(ii) the Tribunal is satisfied that the appellant would be prejudiced by that failure if the appeal or application were determined in accordance with these Rules.

31 Application of the Principal Rules on transfer out of fast track
1 This rule applies where Part 2 or 3 of these Rules ceases to apply to an appeal or application because—
(a) the conditions in rule 5 or 15 cease to apply; or

2 Subject to paragraph (3), the Principal Rules shall apply to the appeal or application from the date on which these Rules cease to apply.
3 Where—

if the Principal Rules contain a time limit for doing the same thing, the time limit in the Principal Rules shall apply, and the relevant period of time shall be treated as running from the date on which the period of time under these Rules started to run.
