Secondly, and should there be a potential conflict or a reasonable doubt as to the veracity of an application, it will call for a detailed audit of that application and make a judgement.
Should there be an appeal against a decision made by the Panel, it will investigte, arbitrate and/or call for a further physical audit of the application which may also involve a physical audit and assessment of the brickmaker and once done, make a final judgement.
