106: Representation before Disciplinary Tribunal

You could also call this:

"Speaking for yourself or having someone represent you at a Disciplinary Tribunal hearing"

Illustration for Real Estate Agents Act 2008

You can go to a hearing and speak for yourself if a Disciplinary Tribunal proceeding affects you. You can also have a lawyer or someone else represent you at the hearing. If the Committee makes a charge against a real estate agent, they will prosecute the charge at the hearing. You can be represented by a lawyer or someone else when you appear at the hearing. The Committee can also have a lawyer or someone else represent them when they prosecute a charge. This happens when the Committee makes a charge against a real estate agent and the case goes to a hearing, but not when it is a review under section 112.
