s.9 — Hearings to be public, exceptions

9 (1) An oral hearing shall be open to the public except where the tribunal is of the opinion that, (a)  matters involving public security may be disclosed; or (b)  intimate financial or personal matters or other matters may be disclosed at the hearing of such a nature, having regard to the circumstances, that the desirability of avoiding disclosure thereof in the interests of any person affected or in the public interest outweighs the desirability of adhering to the principle that hearings be open to the public, in which case the tribunal may hold the hearing in the absence of the public.  ; (1.1) In a written hearing, members of the public are entitled to reasonable access to the documents submitted, unless the tribunal is of the opinion that clause (1) (a) or (b) applies. (1.2) An electronic hearing shall be open to the public unless the tribunal is of the opinion that, (a)  it is not practical to hold the hearing in a manner that is open to the public; or (b)  clause (1) (a) or (b) applies. (2) A tribunal may make such orders or give such directions at an oral or electronic hearing as it considers necessary for the maintenance of order at the hearing, and, if any person disobeys or fails to comply with any such order or direction, the tribunal or a member thereof may call for the assistance of any peace officer to enforce the order or direction, and every peace officer so called upon shall take such action as is necessary to enforce the order or direction and may use such force as is reasonably required for that purpose.  ;
