Paragraph 28 Orders and judgments

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

(1)

Chairmen or tribunals may issue the following —

(a)

a “judgment”, which is a final determination of the proceedings or of a particular issue in those proceedings; it may include an award of compensation, a declaration or recommendation and it may also include orders for costs, preparation time or wasted costs;

(b)

an “order”, which may be issued in relation to interim matters and it will require a person to do or not to do something.

(2)

If the parties agree in writing upon the terms of any order or judgment a chairman or tribunal may, if he or it thinks fit, make such order or judgment.

(3)

At the end of a hearing the chairman (or, as the case may be, the tribunal) shall either issue any order or judgment orally or shall reserve the judgment or order to be given in writing at a later date.

(4)

Where a tribunal is composed of three persons any order or judgment may be made or issued by a majority; and if a tribunal is composed of two persons only, the chairman has a second or casting vote.
