123.1. Where an appeal is brought before the Commission under section 35, the decision must be rendered within 30 days of being taken under advisement, unless the chairman of the Commission grants an extension on serious grounds.
Where a member before whom an appeal has been brought fails to render a decision within 30 days or within the extension granted, the chairman may, on the chairman’s initiative or on the application of a party, remove the member from the case.
Before granting an extension or removing a member who has failed to render a decision within the required time, the chairman must consider the circumstances and the interests of the parties.
