Clerical mistakes in a Tribunal order were corrected after the record showed errors in party references and the operative portion.

Clerical mistakes apparent from the record in an earlier Tribunal order were rectified where the description of counsel, the reference to the parties, and the wording of the operative portion had been incorrectly recorded. The Tribunal confined the exercise to errors evident on the face of the record and, on review of the earlier findings, concluded that the operative portion required correction to reflect the intended result. The specified paragraphs were amended accordingly, and the rectification applications were allowed.

Issues: Whether the Tribunal's earlier order contained clerical errors warranting rectification in respect of the description of counsel, the reference to the parties, and the operative portion of the order.

On examining the record, the Tribunal found that clerical mistakes had occurred in the earlier order and specified the corrections to be made in the relevant paragraphs.

Conclusion: The clerical errors were corrected and the rectification applications were allowed.
