An irregularity resulting from failure to comply with any provision of these Rules, a practice direction or of any direction of the Tribunal before the Tribunal reaches its decision does not of itself render the proceedings on the case void.

Where any such irregularity comes to the attention of the Tribunal, the Tribunal may, if it considers that any person may have been prejudiced by the irregularity, give such directions as it thinks just, with a view to remedying the irregularity, before reaching its decision.

The Tribunal may, by certificate signed by the President or by the Chair of the tribunal panel in question, correct, at any time, clerical mistakes in any document recording a direction or decision of the Tribunal or of the President, produced by or on behalf of the Tribunal, or errors arising in such documents from accidental slips or omissions.

The Secretary of the Tribunal must as soon as practicable send to each party a copy of any corrected version of a document containing reasons for a tribunal panel’s decision.

Where a person has appointed a representative in accordance with rule 17, the Secretary of the Tribunal must (notwithstanding rule 13(10)) send a copy of the document referred to in paragraph (4) to that person as well as to the representative.

Where these Rules require the Chair to sign a document, but by reason of death or incapacity the Chair is unable to do so, the other members of the tribunal panel must sign it and certify that the Chair is unable to sign.
