353G Correction of errors in decisions or statements of reasons
(1) If, after making a decision, the Board is satisfied that there is an obvious error in the text of the decision or in a written statement of reasons for the decision, the Board may direct the National Registrar, a Registrar or a Deputy Registrar to alter the text of the decision or statement in accordance with the directions of the Board.
(2) If the text of a decision or statement is so altered, the altered text is taken to be the decision of the Board or the statement of reasons for the decision, as the case may be.
(3) Examples of obvious errors in the text of a decision or statement of reasons are where:
(a) there is an obvious clerical or typographical error in the text of the decision or statement of reasons; or
(b) there is an inconsistency between the decision and the statement of reasons.
(4) The powers of the Board under this section may be exercised by the Principal Member or by the Board member who presided in respect of the review to which the decision relates.
