Fair Trading Act 1987

In making an order under section 79N, 79O or 79P requiring a party to a consumer claim to pay a specified amount of money or to take any other specified action, the Tribunal must, unless it has good reason to the contrary, specify a period within which the money must be paid or the action must be taken.

The Tribunal may not make any of the orders referred to in this section unless the claimant’s case has been presented to the Tribunal (whether or not in person) following the making of the relevant application under section 79I.

Nothing in subsection (2) prevents the Tribunal from dismissing or adjourning proceedings under section 55 of the Civil and Administrative Tribunal Act 2013.
