Apparent error in classification record corrected where a decided observation was wrongly treated as a submission.

An apparent error in the record of a classification dispute was corrected where the Tribunal had wrongly described a decided observation as a mere submission. Because the earlier order itself showed that the observation formed part of the Tribunal's decision, the mistake was held to be apparent from the face of the record and suitable for rectification. The rectification application was accordingly allowed and the record corrected.
