the court may order the tribunal to state the reasons for its award in sufficient detail for that purpose.

(6) The court may order the applicant or appellant to provide security for the costs of the application or appeal, and may direct that the application or appeal be dismissed if the order is not complied with.

(8) The court may grant leave to appeal subject to conditions to the same or similar effect as an order under subsection (6) or (7).

(9) This does not affect the general discretion of the court to grant leave subject to conditions.
