(1) Where procedures are not provided for in these rules or in an enactment, the Board

may do whatever is necessary and permitted by law to enable it to effectively and

completely adjudicate on the matter before it.

(2) The Board may dispense with, amend, vary or supplement, with or without a

hearing, all or part of these rules at any time by making a procedural order, if it is

interest to do so.

govern the conduct of a specific appeal.

(4) Except as governed by s. 86(1) of the Act, the Board may extend or abridge the

(5) Unless otherwise specified, where these rules or a Board order make reference to

the number of days between two events, not expressed to be clear days, the number

of days shall be calculated by excluding the day on which the first event happens

and including the day on which the second event happens. If the last day falls on a

day the Board offices are closed, the time shall automatically be extended to the

Assessment Appeal Tribunal (“NSAAT”), except when the 30th day falls on a

holiday, in which case the Notice of Appeal must be filed with the Board on the

next day that is not a holiday. (The date of filing of a Notice of Appeal has been

interpreted as the date, up to midnight, that the document is received by the Board

(not the date it is sent), and that the Board has no power to grant extensions).

(5) All documents filed shall be date-stamped by the Board and any document, other

the originals thereof to be filed, may accept true copies of such evidence or such

parts of the same as may be relevant, or may require such evidence to be

transcribed as part of the record.

fax of the document shall be provided to the Board within one (1) day thereafter.

(8) When a document is filed with the Board by e-mail transmission or fax, the sender

shall obtain an acknowledgement from the Clerk of its receipt.

5A

(1) In cases where pre-filed documentary evidence is to be filed in a proceeding,

electronic hyperlinks to, or within, such evidence may be used, subject to the

following conditions:

(

a) where the filing party intends to rely on such evidence as part of its direct

evidence in the matter, a PDF copy of the document, or of the relevant

excerpt (if appropriate), and the purpose of such excerpt, shall also be

provided to the Board and to the other parties, as part of the evidentiary

record in the matter.

(

b) where the electronic hyperlink in subsection [clause] (

a) is to a video or

audio recording, the party must file an MPEG or MP3 file or other

authorized form of video or audio recording that can be accessed through

the Board’s electronic case management system. The filing must also be

accompanied by a brief statement setting out the portion of the video or

audio recording which is being relied on and the purpose of the evidence.

(

c) where the filing party has provided electronic hyperlink evidence and

intends to rely on such hyperlink evidence during cross-examination at a

hearing, a hard copy of the hyperlinked document does not need to be

pre-filed, but a PDF and/or hard copy of any excerpt being used in

cross-examination shall be available for reference during the hearing.

(2) Notwithstanding subsection [clause] (1)(a), no copy of the document is required to

be filed where the reference is to prior Board or Court decisions, to statutes or

regulations, to filings of parties with the Board in other matters, or where used in

(

i) the reasons for the request, including the details of the nature and

(

(

e) order that the document be withdrawn; and

(

f) make any other order the Board may deem to be in the public interest.

(12) Where the Board rejects a claim for confidentiality, the party claiming

confidentiality may, within seven (7) days of receiving the Board’s decision, or

pursuant to subsection [clause] (1)(

a) herein, the party shall seek a preliminary

hearing to deal with the issue.

documents provided or exchanged during the conference, and any suggestion for

resolution of the issues, or any offer to settle, made during the conference, shall

parties, and thereafter (with the consent of the parties) placed in the Board

file for the information of the Board member or members who may

eventually conduct a hearing on the merits with respect to the remaining

issues.

(8) If, as a result of the informal settlement conference, an agreement is reached
