Am in an NCAT Tribunal self represented. Was directed at initial hearing to 2 weeks to submit evidence. I asked for 2 week extension in writing before due date due to unavailability for witnesses for statements and slow postal service ( given it takes from 5 to 10 days now for post in rural areas). was told Tribunal would decide by 30 Oct on it, ( go figure when due date was 27 Oct), and to proceed as if I had it and submit asap. Did that , evidence got to them in hand by 9 Nov. on 17 Nov received Tribunal decision extension denied due vagueness, unsubstantiated, and respondent opposes. ( No evidence of how respondent opposed). Last line says that applicant should comply with procedural directions as soon as possible. Issues of non compliance with directions may be raised with Tribunal at next hearing. My evidence is in now anyway. Respondent hasn't submitted anything claiming that because I was late she didnt have time submit hers , to which Tribinal wrote back saying irrespective of what other parties do parties should comply with directions. A 2 hour hearing is set for next Fri 1 Dec. Can someone with some legal expertise tell me how to address my evidence being late and extension not approved so that my evidence is indeed accepted. It is 150 pages long. Also how do I deal with respondent not submitting if she asks for an extension at hearing?
