Section 63: Outcome of a section 62 review

177.Subsection (1) sets out that a panel conducting a review under section 62 must consider whether the panel that made the original determination ought to have reached a different determination and, where additional evidence is provided to, or obtained by, the panel conducting the review, whether the application should now be determined differently as a result of that additional evidence.
