Rule 8 Defective applicationsI1

If the Tribunal considers that an application does not comply with rule 7, or is materially incomplete, or is lacking in clarity, it may give such directions as may be necessary to ensure that those defects are remedied.

The Tribunal may, if satisfied that the efficient conduct of the proceedings so requires, instruct the Secretary to defer service of the application on the respondent until after the directions referred to in paragraph (1) have been complied with.
