Who will present the arguments first?
5 months ago
In person, I am the complainant. I like to present written arguments before the Ld. Commission. But I am confused as to who will file arguments first. Should I file arguments if the other side, for some reason, seeks time to file BNA on the date fixed for hearing? Because the time taken by the other side may be a strategy to take advantage of the complainant's copy service.
A.Dear Client,
As per Regulation 13(2) of the Consumer Protection(Consumer Commission Procedure) Regulations, 2020, where a party is represented by a counsel, it shall be mandatory to file a brief of written arguments two days before the matter is fixed for arguments. As per Regulation 13(3), in case of default to file briefs, the Consumer Commission shall impose such cost as it deems necessary. The complainant can submit written arguments first by serving the copy to O P, but it is not mandatory to do so.

A.Dear Client,
As a general practice, the complainant usually files the written arguments first. If the other side seeks time to file a reply or written arguments on the date fixed for the hearing, it is advisable for the complainant to proceed with filing their arguments.
