ABORIGINAL LAND RIGHTS ACT 1983 - SECT 199B

199B Circumstances in which Pecuniary Interest and Disciplinary Tribunal may dispense with hearing

(cf section 470B of Local Government Act 1993 )

(1) After considering a report presented to it under section 181K and any other document or other material lodged with or provided to the Tribunal in relation to the report, the Pecuniary Interest and Disciplinary Tribunal may determine the proceedings without a hearing if:

(a) the Registrar and the person to whom the report relates have agreed that the proceedings may be determined without a hearing, and

(b) there are no material facts in dispute between the Registrar and person, and

(c) in the opinion of the Tribunal, public interest considerations do not require a hearing.

(2) To avoid doubt, a decision by the Pecuniary Interest and Disciplinary Tribunal to determine proceedings in a referred matter without a hearing is not a decision to which section 213 or 214 applies.

Note: Section 213 requires the Pecuniary Interest and Disciplinary Tribunal to inform certain parties of decisions in proceedings before it.
