A tribunal's failure to complete its jurisdictional task by making orders against all relevant parties constitutes an implied decision on a question with respect to a matter of law under s 67(1) of the CTTT Act, even where the issue was not the subject of an overt dispute between the parties. However, the District Court on appeal under s 67(3)(a) cannot engage in fact-finding on the merits; it may only make orders based on the Tribunal's own fact-finding or agreed positions. The scope of the District Court's power under s 67(3)(a) to find facts remains not finally determined.
