85B—Representation

        (1)         A person is entitled to appear personally or by representative in conciliation proceedings or other proceedings before the Tribunal.

        (2)         However, a person is not entitled to be represented by a person whose name has been struck off the roll of legal practitioners or who, although a legal practitioner, is not entitled to practise the profession of law because of disciplinary action taken against the person.

        (3)         If, in conciliation proceedings, the conciliator presiding at the proceedings wants to speak to a person privately in the absence of the person's representative, the representative must withdraw until—

            (a)         the conciliator invites the representative to return; or

            (b)         the private interview is terminated.

        (4)         A party is entitled to terminate a private interview with the conciliator held in the absence of the party's representative at any time after the conciliator has had a reasonable opportunity to put to the party proposals for which the conciliator initiated the private interview.
