    Yes. Paragraph s. 51 ETW 2021 permits the ETW to proceed in the absence of a party where that party has been notified of the hearing. If the ETW is satisfied that there is sufficient reason for such absence, it may not proceed to hear and determine the appeal in that party’s absence. Before disposing of an appeal in the absence of a party the ETW must consider any representations made in writing by that party, together with the appeal application and the parties’ case statements.
