        (2)         An appeal must be instituted within one month of the date on which the appellant is notified of the decision unless the Supreme Court is satisfied that there is good reason to dispense with the requirement that the appeal should be so instituted.

        (3)         The Supreme Court may, on the hearing of an appeal exercise any one or more of the following powers, as the case requires:

            (a)         affirm, vary, quash or reverse the decision subject to the appeal and administer any reprimand, or make any order, that should have been administered or made in the first instance;

            (b)         remit the subject matter of the appeal to the Tribunal for further hearing or consideration or for rehearing;

            (c)         make any further or other order as to costs or any other matter that the case requires.
