an order declaring the rights of the complainant and the respondent in relation to the act to which the complaint relates;

a

the tribunal may (subject to the limit in subsection 2)increase the amount of compensation required to be paid to the complainant in respect of the complaint by an order made under subsection (1)(b), or
