The situation regarding legal representation at Fair Trading or the Tribunal can vary based on the type of matter and the specific circumstances involved. Here is a general overview of the attitudes that Fair Trading and the Tribunal have with respect to legal representation:
Please note however, that you will generally need to obtain the consent of the other side to be legally represented in Fair Trading mediations.
Should a party wish to have legal representation in proceedings in the Tribunal, they can seek permission from the Tribunal to be represented by a lawyer or another professional agent. The Tribunal may grant permission if the Tribunal is of the view that it would be in the interest of justice to do so. Factors that could influence this decision include the complexity of the matter, the capability of the person to represent themselves, and whether the other party is being legally represented.
