==Schedule: Time limits for providing application notices and responses==
The schedule is not relevant to mental health cases and is not reproduced here. It was amended by the Tribunal Procedure (Amendment No. 2) Rules 2009 with effect from 1/9/09, and [[Tribunal Procedure (Amendment No. 3) Rules 2010]] with effect from 29/11/10, substituted in its entirety by [[Tribunal Procedure (Amendment) Rules 2011]] with effect from 1/4/11.

==Note==
The Rules state that they come into force on 3/11/08; however, the Mental Health Tribunal's guidance says that the new Rules apply to applications received after 3/11/08 and, as far as possible, to appeals started before that date, provided that this would not disadvantage the appellant or the Authority.
