(A) reply / response to the first / grounds for (the) appeal, e.g.

""3.4. The third ground [sic] of appeal [middel] argues that the principle set out in section 25 (2) of the General Child Care Benefits Act violates Article 26 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and Article 14 of the Convention (art. 14). To the extent that the ground of appeal relies on the latter provision (art. 14), it must fail as the present case does not relate to any of the rights and freedoms enumerated in the Convention. " ref. http://www.ukmm.org.uk/camp/hr/vanraalte.htm

"On a strict interpretation of section 98 the claimant's [sic the appellant's] first ground for appeal therefore does not fall within this, as he is not querying the amount of benefit, the rate of benefit or the period for which it is paid but is merely stating that recoupment ought not to take place at all.
