199 Tribunal may discontinue representative complaint in particular circumstances

(1) The tribunal may, on application by the respondent or on its own initiative, order that a complaint no longer continue as a representative complaint if the tribunal considers it is in the interests of justice to do so because—

(a) the complaint will not provide an efficient and effective way of dealing with the complaints of the class members for the complaint; or

(b) the complainant is not able to adequately represent the interests of the class members for the complaint; or

(c) it is otherwise inappropriate that the complaint continue as a representative complaint.

(2) If the tribunal dismisses an application by the respondent made under this section, the tribunal may order that no further application under this section may be made by the respondent in relation to the representative complaint except with the leave of the tribunal.

(3) For subsection (2) , leave may be granted subject to the conditions about costs the tribunal considers just.
