Thank you, Mr. Chair.
This gives the power to the tribunal to seek out the information it feels is necessary to assess a claim. The way the tribunal is set up in general is to allow matters to be heard expeditiously so the person making the claim doesn't have to have a lawyer. We've made it as easy as possible for the claimant, so naturally if the claimant wishes to bring forward evidence from any source, the tribunal is able to hear matters as expeditiously and casually as the circumstances will allow. This is drafted to allow the claimant to bring forward evidence the claimant feels is necessary to support the claim.
