YB (Allegations against adjudicator: Presidential note) Jamaica [2005] UKIAT 00029
• an affidavit or statement of truth by counsel (not Mr Lourdes, but a Mr Shamin) who had appeared before the adjudicator, attaching any notes to support the account of what had happened; or
• if the claim could not be made out, an affidavit or statement by the draftsman of the grounds of appeal, explaining how it came to be made.
If the allegation is very general, and more in the way of a throwaway line, it is likely to be dealt with on the application for permission to appeal as wholly unsubstantiated, bearing in mind the inherent seriousness of such an allegation.
If the allegation is more particularised in the grounds of appeal, it may be treated as arguable. "Particularised" means not only that it should have some detail to support the point, but it should be apparent that the allegation is being made or supported by someone who was arguably in a position to know what happened. If that is not the case, then the applicant can be said not to have shown that the case was reasonably arguable.
