Abstracts of Rulings and Determinations are published to help parties and their counsel who may use them as guidelines and not precedents.
As the Hearing of Appeals before the Tribunal are in camera, names of parties and other identifiable matters do not appear. Specific reference numbers have been used and can be referred to during the hearing of a new case before the Tribunal. But, in considering the Ruling and Determination referred to, the Tribunal will rely solely on the original signed versions which are kept in its custody. Rulings and Determinations which are the subject matter of a Judicial Review are pending for the moment and their abstracts have not been reproduced.
