Authorisation to attend personal hearings: written authority required and representative must be conversant; personal appearance is encouraged.

An applicant may authorise another person to attend a personal hearing by providing proper written authority; the authorised representative must be conversant with the nature of the contravention. Compounding applies only to admitted contraventions, and regulatory guidance encourages the applicant to appear personally instead of being represented by legal experts or consultants.
