GENERAL.

8. The Court considers that in every case where the facts are
   clear, and there is no ground for seeking to enforce a penalty,
   the Inspectors of Awards should carefully consider whether the
   matter can reasonably be treated as a case for interpretation, but
   the Court does not desire to interfere with the discretionary powers
   of Inspectors in such matters.
