Mistake apparent on the record justifies recall where a timely written synopsis and supporting case law were omitted.

Omission of a timely filed written synopsis and the case law cited in it from consideration before passing the final order was treated as a mistake apparent on the face of the record. The Tribunal noted that the hearing had concluded and the matter had been reserved, but the synopsis, though received within time, was not part of the material used in the earlier decision. Because the omitted submissions contained authorities and arguments supporting the applicants, the Tribunal allowed the rectification applications, recalled the final order, and directed a fresh hearing.

Issues: Whether the Tribunal should rectify the earlier final order and recall it on the ground that a written synopsis and the case law cited therein had not been considered, constituting a mistake apparent on the face of the record.

Analysis: The Tribunal found from the record that the hearing had been concluded and the order reserved, but the appellants had subsequently filed a written synopsis within the stipulated time, as evidenced by the Tribunal's office stamp. That synopsis, though received, did not form part of the material considered while passing the earlier final order. Since the synopsis contained decisions and submissions in favour of the applicants, its omission was treated as an error apparent on the face of the record.

Conclusion: The applications were allowed, the earlier final order was recalled, and the matters were posted for fresh hearing.
