This section does not apply to —

a failure to comply with the determination of a dispute or matter by the Tribunal; or

an order made in, or as a consequence of, the determination of a dispute or matter by the Tribunal.

The Tribunal may make a determination (a default determination) against a party to the proceedings without a hearing if the party —

does not comply with a direction, order or declaration made by the Tribunal during the course of the proceedings; or

fails to file a response within the prescribed period.

The Tribunal may, upon making a default determination, make 1 or more of the orders or declarations set out in section 47A.

The Tribunal may set aside a default determination and may do so on conditions as to the payment of costs or as to other matters.
