The importance of the post-hearing brief, with proper citation to cases, exhibits and the hearing transcript will follow. The procedure for taking an Exception to the Tax Appeals Tribunal, and oral argument, will ensue. Finally, Article 78 appeals to the Appellate Division, with bonding requirements, will be addressed.
