Article 121 Task of friendly society tribunal in relation to a transitional friendly society appealI1

On a transitional friendly society appeal brought by a society under section 58(1) of the original Friendly Societies Act, the question for the determination of the friendly society tribunal is whether, for the reasons adduced by the appellant, the decision was unlawful or was not justified by the evidence on which it was based.

On making its determination the friendly society tribunal must remit the matter to the Authority with such directions (if any) as the tribunal considers appropriate for giving effect to its determination.

The Authority must exercise its powers under Part IV of the Act (or under the amended Friendly Societies Act) in the manner most appropriate to give effect to the friendly society tribunal’s directions.
