"Agreeing to Let the Tribunal Make a Decision"

Illustration for Human Rights Act 1993

You can agree with the other party in a case to let the Tribunal make a decision. This is if the Tribunal cannot make a decision because of section 92Q. You and the other party must sign a document to agree to this. You and the other party can agree to let the Tribunal grant a remedy, even if section 92Q would normally stop this. This agreement overrides sections 92Q to 92U. This means the Tribunal can make a decision based on your agreement.
