                     (b)  the conduct of business in relation to matters allowed or required to be dealt with by FWA.

             (2)  Without limiting subsection (1), the procedural rules may provide for the following:

                     (a)  the requirements for making an application to FWA;

                     (b)  the circumstances in which a lawyer or paid agent may make an application or submission to FWA on behalf of a person who is entitled to make the application or submission;

                     (c)  the form and manner in which, and the time within which, submissions may or must be made to FWA;
