244: Tribunal may require mixture of closed and open hearings

You could also call this:

“Tribunal can mix closed and open parts in hearings involving classified information”

The Tribunal can decide to have different types of hearings when dealing with classified information. They might choose to have some parts of the hearing closed, where only certain people can be present. This is for the parts that involve classified information. For other parts of the hearing, they might allow the appellant or affected person to be there. The Tribunal can mix these two types of hearings as they see fit.
