MIGRATION ACT 1958 - SECT 353A

             (1)  The Principal Member may, in writing, give directions, not inconsistent with this Act or the regulations, as to:

                     (a)  the operation of the Tribunal; and

                     (b)  the conduct of reviews by the Tribunal.

             (2)  In particular, the directions may relate to the application of efficient processing practices to the conduct of reviews by the Tribunal.

             (3)  The Tribunal should, as far as practicable, comply with the directions. However, non-compliance by the Tribunal with any direction does not mean that the Tribunal's decision on a review is an invalid decision.

             (4)  If the Tribunal deals with a review of a decision in a way that complies with the directions, the Tribunal is not required to take any other action in dealing with the review.
