Full text
26. Where, being unable to act, a member of the board is unable to continue with the hearing of a dispute, the two remaining members, provided one of them is an advocate, may validly continue with the hearing of the dispute and render a unanimous decision.
Where the board continues with the hearing of a dispute in accordance with the first paragraph and opinions are divided for the purpose of rendering the decision, the Government must appoint, after being notified by the board, a third member. That member may, for the purpose of rendering the decision and with the consent of the parties, rely on the evidence already filed.
Where the board cannot continue with the hearing of a dispute in accordance with the first paragraph, the advocate member who was chairing it must be replaced. The advocate member who is appointed as a replacement may also, with the consent of the parties, rely on the evidence already filed at the time of that member’s appointment.
