(3) power to strike out an appeal for want of prosecution (Rule 7);

(4) the omission of some unnecessary words in defining what person may represent an appellant (Rule 8);

(5) the statement of reasons for a decision of a Tribunal, including a decision to adjourn an appeal (Rules 12 and 14);

(6) the procedure to be followed where an appellant is resident abroad and his appeal has been directed to be heard by a tribunal appointed for Northern Ireland (Rule 15);
