The applicant and any other relevant person are not entitled to legal representation during the adjudication process unless—

(a)the adjudicator and all other parties consent; or
(b)the adjudicator, after considering—
(i)the nature of the questions of law raised by the dispute;
(ii)the relative complexity and importance of the dispute; and
(iii)the comparative ability of the parties to represent themselves in the adjudication,

concludes that it would be unreasonable to expect the party to deal with the adjudication without legal representation.
