Rectification of errors apparent from record allows authorities to correct documents within time limits, subject to natural justice.

Authority that issued a decision, order, notice, certificate or other document may rectify errors apparent on the face of the record either on its own motion or when brought to notice by an officer or the affected person within a limited period; rectification is barred after an outer time limit except for purely clerical or arithmetical errors arising from accidental slips or omissions, and where rectification adversely affects any person the authority must follow the principles of natural justice.
