Procedure after hearing

15.—(1) The Tribunal shall after the close of the hearing notify its determination and its reasons therefor in accordance with section 29(7) and (8) of the Act (which provide for the giving of notice of a Tribunal’s determination, together with a statement of its reasons, to the appellant and to the Bank and, in the case of an appeal under section 27(2) of the Act, for the giving of notice of the Tribunal’s determination to the institution concerned).
