The Court held the Tribunal's refusal to admit the affidavit and its limitation of participation were discretionary procedural decisions within the Tribunal's expertise and consistent with its practice note; no error of law was demonstrated because the Tribunal was entitled to manage hearing participation and timetable, the distinction drawn between applicants for urgency and supporters did not disclose a reviewable legal error, and the exigencies of an urgent, time-limited inquiry meant judicial intervention was not justified.
