Competition and Consumer Act 2010

In proceedings before the Tribunal:

the procedure of the Tribunal is, subject to this Act and the regulations, within the discretion of the Tribunal;

the proceedings shall be conducted with as little formality and technicality, and with as much expedition, as the requirements of this Act and a proper consideration of the matters before the Tribunal permit; and

the Tribunal is not bound by the rules of evidence.

The powers of the Tribunal with respect to matters of procedure in particular proceedings may be exercised by a presidential member.

The powers mentioned in subsection (2) may be exercised by a presidential member:

whether or not the Tribunal has been constituted under section 37 in relation to the proceedings; and

once the Tribunal is so constituted—whether or not that member is part of the Division of the Tribunal so constituted.
