Section 72 - Jurisdiction of Tribunal and Appellate Tribunal

Right of appeal to Appellate Tribunal preserves review of Tribunal orders, with consent exclusion and time-limit exceptions.

Section 72 vests the Tribunal with its statutory powers and creates a right of appeal to the Appellate Tribunal from Tribunal orders, excluding orders made with parties' consent. Appeals must be filed within a prescribed limitation period but the Appellate Tribunal may admit late appeals on sufficient cause. The Appellate Tribunal must hear parties and may confirm, modify or set aside orders, and must send copies of its orders to the Tribunal and the parties. The provision reflects amendments introduced by the 2021 Amendment Act.
