I am not sure that a blog is the best place to solicit information, but a query to Rightsnet has not given me an answer, and I am going to try it here as an experiment. It looks from the stats as though a very large number of appeals are lodged about ESA decisions, but then nothing happens – there is no process, no decision and no outcome. I talked a couple of weeks ago with a group of CAB workers who were expressing concern about disappearing forms, submitted evidence going missing and responses not being received. Is this a more general experience?
