79: Jurisdiction to make interim orders
or “The Tribunal can make temporary rules to keep things fair while it decides on a case”

You could also call this:

“The Tribunal's decisions are usually the final word, except in special cases.”

When the Tribunal makes an order, it is final and binding on all parties involved in the proceedings. This means you must follow what the Tribunal decides. However, there are a few exceptions to this rule. If the Tribunal says the order is an interim order under section 79, it might not be final. Also, sections 105 and 117 to 120 describe some situations where an order might not be final. Apart from these exceptions, you need to follow the Tribunal’s order as it is final and binding.
