Additional documents in stay proceedings may be received where relevant and not barred by procedure.

Additional documents could be produced in support of a stay petition because Rule 23 of the CEGAT Procedure Rules did not bar their filing at that stage. The Tribunal found the documents relevant to the stay application and rejected the objection that no additional evidence could be taken on record, so the miscellaneous applications for production of additional documents were allowed.
