(1) The chairman may at any time on the application of a party, make an order in relation to any matter which appears to him to be appropriate. Such orders may be those listed in rule 10(2) of Schedule 1 (subject to rule 11 below) or such other orders as he thinks fit. Subject to the case management rules in Schedule 1, orders may be issued as a result of a chairman considering the papers before him in the absence of the parties, or at a hearing (see regulation 2 for the definition of “hearing”).
(2) If the parties agree in writing upon the terms of any decision to be made by the tribunal or chairman, the chairman may, if he thinks fit, decide accordingly.
