"Industrial tribunals were set up with the purpose of operating cheaply, quickly and informally, and as far as possible therefore it is desirable that the formalities of the regular courts should be avoided. To introduce a formal system of discovery and inspection, interlocutories, and so on, might in the abstract produce more perfect justice, but it would be at such a great cost and time, money and manpower that the whole machine would grind to a halt. The industrial tribunals are so organised, and the chairmen, who are very experienced, are so skilled, that they are able and an informal procedure of this kind by and large to do justice between the parties without an elaborate system of interlocutory proceedings. Occasionally it becomes necessary for adjournments to be granted so that unforseen problems can be considered in the light of additional documents and enquiries, or further particulars. No doubt that is sometimes inconvenient and is not an ideal solution, but is the only alternative to an elaborate structure of interlocutory proceedings. Occasionally, it may seem that some hardship is caused in individual cases, but not often, and on the whole the system works, as intended, very fairly between the parties involved."
