The Board did not unlawfully deny representation because s.11 requires the Board's consent at the hearing and the applicants never properly sought such consent; the Board acted reasonably in limiting a non‑lawyer intervenor who lacked personal knowledge and risked hearsay; disclosure of the W5 tenancy was relevant to the applicants' mitigation and livelihood claims and did not produce unfair prejudice; accordingly the Board reasonably applied the departmental Policy and dismissal of the appeals was lawful.
