“(2)

In giving any direction under this section, the High Court shall—

“(a)

Advise the Tribunal of its reasons for so doing; and

“(b)

Give to the Tribunal such directions as it thinks fit concerning the rehearing or reconsideration or otherwise of the whole or any part of the matter that is referred back for reconsideration.

“(3)

In reconsidering the matter so referred back, the Tribunal shall have regard to the High Court’s reasons for giving a direction under subsection (1) of this section and to the High Court’s directions under subsection (2) of this section.”
