CIVIL AND ADMINISTRATIVE TRIBUNAL ACT 2013 - SECT 53

53 Amendments and irregularities

(1) The Tribunal may, in any proceedings, make any amendments to any document (for example, an application or appeal) filed in connection with the proceedings that the Tribunal considers to be necessary in the interests of justice.

(2) Any such amendment may be made--

(a) at any stage of the proceedings, and

(b) on such terms as the Tribunal thinks fit,

but may only be made after giving notice to the party to whom the amendment relates.

(3) If a provision of this Act or the procedural rules is not complied with in relation to the commencement or conduct of proceedings, the failure to comply is to be treated as an irregularity and does not nullify the proceedings or any decision in the proceedings unless the Tribunal determines otherwise.

(4) The Tribunal may, however, in dealing with any such irregularity, wholly or partly set aside the proceedings or a decision in the proceedings.
