27. Proceedings before tribunal conducted by electronic means etc.

A tribunal may, on such conditions as it may impose, permit proceedings before the tribunal to be conducted by telephone, videophone or any other electronic means (referred to in this section as electronic means).

The tribunal may at any time direct any proceedings before it conducted by electronic means to cease and order the parties to appear in person at a designated place for the hearing.

Any order made by the tribunal at the proceedings before it by electronic means may be set aside on the application of a person aggrieved by that order if the tribunal is satisfied that either party has been impersonated or that any person who participated in the hearing did not have authority to represent the party concerned.

An application made under subsection (3) shall be made within one month after the order was made or such further period as the tribunal may allow.
