Article 8 Appearance at hearing.

The parties to the proceedings on the enquiry shall be entitled to appear before, and to be heard by, the tribunal and to give oral evidence in those proceedings.

The tribunal may invite any person who may in its opinion be able to assist the parties or the tribunal to address it or give oral evidence or both.

The tribunal may require oral evidence by any person in such proceedings to be given on oath and for that purpose the chairman of the tribunal may administer oaths.

Where the request for an enquiry was made by the persons mentioned in section 1A(1)(c) or (d) of the Measure, none of those persons (other than the persons mentioned in section 7(6) of the Measure as being willing to act as representatives) shall be entitled to attend any hearing of the tribunal without the consent of the chairman of the tribunal unless the hearing is one which is held in public.
