Rectification of record errors permitted with authority-initiated or notified correction, subject to time limits and natural justice. An authority that issued a decision, order, notice, certificate or other document may rectify errors apparent on the face of record on its own motion or when brought to its attention by an officer or the affected person within a short prescribed period; this power is without prejudice to other provisions and subject to a longer outer cut-off, with an exception for purely clerical or arithmetical corrections arising from accidental slips or omissions, and any rectification adverse to a person requires observance of natural justice.
