The Disciplinary Tribunal can stop a proceeding if it thinks there is no good reason for it. You might see this happen if the proceeding is likely to cause problems or delays. The Tribunal can also stop a proceeding if it is frivolous or vexatious, which means it is not a serious or genuine complaint. If you are involved in a proceeding and you do not show up to the hearing, the Disciplinary Tribunal can make a decision without you. The Tribunal can also choose to stop the proceeding or delay the hearing. This can happen if you are required to be at the hearing but you are not there. The Disciplinary Tribunal has the power to make these decisions under the Real Estate Agents Act 2008, which was amended by the Tribunals Powers and Procedures Legislation Act 2018. The Tribunal's role is to deal with disciplinary matters related to real estate agents. You can find more information about the Tribunal's powers and procedures in the Act.
