Division 8—Obligation to give reasons for decisions
39—Reasons for decisions
The Tribunal must, if requested by a person affected by a decision of the Tribunal, where written reasons have not been given, state in writing the reasons for the Tribunal's decision.
39A—Time for application for review or instituting appeal
Furthermore, if the reasons for a decision of the Tribunal have not been given in writing and—
(a) an applicant for review of the decision of the Tribunal under section 70 of the South Australian Civil and Administrative Tribunal Act 2013; or
(b) a person appealing against a decision of the Tribunal under section 71 of the South Australian Civil and Administrative Tribunal Act 2013,
requests the Tribunal within 1 month of the making of the decision to state the reasons in writing, the time for making the application for review or instituting the appeal (as the case may be) runs from the time when the person receives the written statement of reasons.
