Cap 136C rule 24 Further consideration Where the tribunal has made a decision with recommendations and, at the end of the period referred to in rule 23(4), it appears to the tribunal after making appropriate inquiries of the responsible authority that any such recommendation has not been complied with, the tribunal may reconvene the proceedings after giving to all parties not less than 14 days' notice (or such shorter notice as all parties may consent to) of the date, time and place fixed for the hearing.

(Enacted 1988) Cap 136C rule 27 Irregularities Any irregularity resulting from failure to comply with these rules before the tribunal has determined an application shall not of itself render the proceedings void, but the tribunal may, and shall if it considers that any person may have been prejudiced, take such steps as it thinks fit before determining the application to cure the irregularity, whether by the amendment of any document, the giving of any notice or otherwise. (Enacted 1988) Cap 136C rule 28 Application requiring the leave of the tribunal (1) Subject to this rule, where the leave of the tribunal to make an application is required by section 59B(5) of the Ordinance, these rules shall apply to a request for leave as if that request were an application. (2) Subrule (1)(b) and (c) and subrule (2)(b) and (c) of rule 6 and rule 19 shall not apply to the request for leave and proceedings on such a request unless the chairman otherwise directs. (3) Where an application is made which requires such leave, the chairman may direct that the application be treated as a request for leave and if he does so direct it shall be deemed to be such a request. (4) Without derogation from the power of the tribunal to grant or refuse such leave, such leave may be granted or refused by the chairman who, in the exercise of his functions under this subrule, shall have all the powers conferred on the tribunal by these rules. (5) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these rules a request for such leave may be considered by the chairman or, as the case may be, tribunal, summarily and without the presence of the person requesting leave or his representative or of the mentally incapacitated person (where he is not the person requesting leave).
