Cap. 551 Art. 46Power of Tribunal to order or permit amendment of written pleadings.

(1) The Tribunal may, at any stage of the proceedings, at the request of any of the parties, until the decision is delivered, after hearing the parties where necessary, order the substitution of any act or permit any written pleading to be amended, either by adding or striking out the name of any party and substituting another name therefor, or by correcting any mistake in the name or in the character of the parties, or by correcting any other mistake or by causing other submission of fact or of law to be added even by separate note, provided that no such substitution or amendment shall affect the substance either of the action or of the defence on the merits of the case.

(2) Any administrative omission or mistake in an act may, until the Tribunal shall have delivered its decision, be remedied by the Tribunal of its own motion.

(3) The Tribunal may, upon the application of any of the parties to be served on the other appellate parties, amend at any time, by a decree, any error of calculation incurred in the decision.

(4) The Tribunal shall not be debarred from correcting any error in the wording of the decision, or from altering any expression which is equivocal, or which may be construed differently from that evidently intended by the Tribunal, provided that an application is made to that effect within twenty days from the date when the decision is published, and in such case, the time allowed by this Act for entering an appeal before the Court of Appeal (Inferior Jurisdiction) from any decision so amended, shall commence to run from the date of the notification of the decree given on the demand for the amendment.
