The Registry Officer
Each Tribunal has a Registry Officer assigned to the case. The individual assigned is deemed to be an "officer of the court," responsible to the Tribunal. The Officer is responsible for managing the logistical support services necessary for conducting that hearing under the direction of the Tribunal. Officers can also provide advice and guidance to the members, counsel and parties on Tribunal practices such as media coverage, scheduling of witnesses and future hearing dates.

During the hearing, the Officer is responsible for receiving and filing documents on behalf of the Tribunal, administering the oath, recording a brief summary of the proceedings and drafting orders under the specific direction of the Tribunal. The Officer is the liaison between the members and the parties in a case, as well as the public and media.

The Officer is also responsible for organizing the provision of services to the Tribunal, and is available to assist members with such matters as travel arrangements, or with procedural matters during a hearing.
