Administrative Review Tribunal Act 2024

At any time during a proceeding, the Tribunal may, by order:

direct that the proceeding, or any part of or matter arising out of the proceeding, be referred to a dispute resolution process; and

direct any of the following persons to conduct the dispute resolution process:

a member;

a registrar;

a person engaged under subsection 90(1).

A non‑participating party to the proceeding or a Tribunal case event of that kind is not required to appear at the dispute resolution process unless the Tribunal orders the party to do so under section 63.

The parties to the proceeding appearing at the dispute resolution process must act in good faith in relation to the conduct of the dispute resolution process.

Despite subsection (1), the Tribunal must not direct that a guidance and appeals panel proceeding, or any part of or matter arising out of a guidance and appeals panel proceeding, be referred to a dispute resolution process other than conferencing.
