ACT Civil and Administrative Tribunal Act 2008

This section applies if—

the tribunal makes an order on an application; and

within 14 days after the day the order is made, a party asks for a statement of reasons for the making of the order.

The tribunal must give the party a written statement of reasons or a transcript of an oral statement of reasons for the making of the order.

The statement of reasons must set out—

any principles of law relied on by the tribunal; and

the way in which the tribunal applied the principles of law to the facts.

For what must be included in a statement of reasons, see the Legislation Act, s 179.

This section does not apply to an order under section 53 (Interim orders) or an order of a procedural nature.

The rules may prescribe a longer period for asking for order details (see s 25 (1) (e) and (2)).
