36. Section 62 of the Principal Act is amended-

         (a)  by omitting ''complying with'' and substituting ''under''; and


   (b)  by adding at the end thereof the following sub-section:

''(2) If the Tribunal, upon application for a declaration under this
sub-section made to it by a person to whom a notice has been furnished in
pursuance of sub-section 26 (1), considers that the notice does not contain
adequate particulars of findings on material questions of fact, an adequate
reference to the evidence or other material on which those findings were based
or adequate particulars of the reasons for the decision, the Tribunal may make
a declaration accordingly, and, where the Tribunal makes such a declaration,
the person responsible for furnishing the notice shall, as soon as practicable
but in any case within 28 days after the Tribunal makes the declaration,
furnish to the applicant an additional notice or additional notices containing
further and better particulars in relation to matters specified in the
declaration with respect to those findings, that evidence or other material or
those reasons.''.
