The review concluded that there was a deficiency in the law as the former tribunal could not operate in specialist divisions.
The new tribunal was also to have the flexibility to conduct hearings before a single member or to constitute multimember panels depending on the degree of complexity or the nature of the matter in dispute.
The tribunal was to conduct proceedings with as little formality and technicality and with as much expedition as the requirements of the matter in question permitted.
Alternative dispute resolution was to be an important focus in the tribunal's operations.
There was a right of appeal on a question of law to the Supreme Court of New South Wales.
