Registration of agreements
33 Registration of agreements
Any party to an agreement reached under section 32 may, after notifying each other party in writing, lodge a copy of the signed and certified record of agreement with the Tribunal for registration.
Subject to subsection (3), the Tribunal must register the record of agreement and give a certified copy of the registered record of agreement to each party.
If the Tribunal, constituted by a presidential member, considers that it may not be practicable to enforce, or to supervise compliance with, a record of agreement or part of a record of agreement, the Tribunal—
in the case of a record of agreement, may refuse to register the record of agreement; or
in the case of a part of a record of agreement, may refuse to register the part of the record of agreement that it considers may not be practicable to enforce, or to supervise compliance with.
On registration, a registered record of agreement or a registered part of a record of agreement—
is taken to be an order of the Tribunal in accordance with its terms; and
may be enforced accordingly.
The refusal of the Tribunal to register a record of agreement or any part of a record of agreement does not affect the validity of the agreement.
