4The parties do not need to provide these documents to the Tribunal but must confirm in writing that they have complied with these Orders. However, if either party intends to rely on these documents during the course of the hearing they must bring a legible copy for the Tribunal on the hearing date.

5If either party requires an extension of time to comply with these Orders then the party must make a written request to the Tribunal with reasons.
