Section 111 - Procedure before Appellate Tribunal.

Appellate tribunal procedure: guided by natural justice with power to self regulate and exercise civil court powers for evidence.

The Appellate Tribunal shall be guided by the principle of natural justice and may regulate its own procedure subject to the Act and rules. For its functions it has civil court powers including summoning and examining persons on oath, compelling discovery and production of documents, receiving affidavit evidence, requisitioning public records, issuing commissions, dismissing or deciding representations for default or ex parte and setting aside such orders. Its orders are enforceable as court decrees and proceedings are deemed judicial, with the Tribunal regarded as a civil court for specified criminal procedure and penal provisions.
