While resolving cttt disputes, there are occasions when the CTTT conducts hearings about some disputes especially in two occasions. When a condition occur where some disputes must be handled by the CTTT in a hearing and cannot be adjudicated, usually the CTTT calls for a hearing where the parties should be present. For example in such cases as changing unit entitlements or relaxing an initial period restriction, the CTTT calls for a hearing. In other conditions, usually the CTTT hears appeals from Adjudications. Usually people need to obey strict and sometimes complex time limits set by the CTTT for both original applications and appeals to the CTTT. This time limit is usually twenty one days and also there are some threshold requirements that people who go to CTTT to get their disputes settled need to face. Every one needs to be very much careful and special vigilance needs to be taken to get these details right. But there are some special circumstances when the appeal period can be extended to ninety days.
CTTT hearings are usually conducted more informally than that is done by most other Courts but at the same time they are adversarial too. And like other courts, they also still involve witnesses giving evidence under oath, cross examination and expert materials if they find to be appropriate. Also, parties can be legally represented at the CTTT. At the end of the hearing, the CTTT will decide the matter and npo costs orders can be made. And in a few very limited instances, the CTTT has power to order that a party pays costs.
