It also makes a written record of every order it makes under section 18(8), section 34(1), section 46(2), or section 47(3)(b). The Tribunal records every variation of a term of an agreed settlement under section 47(3)(a). When the hearing is finished, the Tribunal gives each party who is present a copy of the written record. If a party is not at the hearing, a Registrar sends them a copy of the written record.
