Currently, the tribunal members are made up of representatives of workers, employers and general public. I am not aware of any of them having their own particular legal background. They do have access to the legal advice when making their decisions. I do not know how often they access that legal advice, whether it is done on every case or not at all. I am not privy to that, but they do have the option and the ability to access legal advice when they feel necessary.
