- Lawyers and parties must provide written outlines of
argument in all contested and ex parte applications before the tribunal.
- An outline must:
a) provide a concise summary of the argument in point
form;
b) identify relevant authorities (citing the authorised report, if any, of each case),
legislative provisions and any extrinsic material;
c) list material to be read and the filing date of that material;
d) list material sought to be read and filed by leave and the swearing date of such
material where appropriate;
e) not usually exceed 4 pages; and
f) attach a chronology where appropriate.
- Outlines should be exchanged as early as practicable prior
to the hearing. In all cases, they should be handed to the presiding member at the
commencement of the hearing. At the conclusion of the hearing, they will be placed in the
tribunal file for future reference.
- Lawyers and parties must provide legible copies of relevant
authorities, legislative provisions and extrinsic material for the presiding member.
