(6) If no notice of objection is given under subregulation (3), the Tribunal shall as soon as may be practicable consider whether the organisation at whose instance the reference is made is reasonably representative of the class of person it claims to represent or, as the case may be, whether the organisation or person applying to be made a part to the proceedings has a substantial interest in the matter in dispute and ought reasonably to be made a party: Provided that the Tribunal shall not reach an adverse decision without giving the organisation or

person concerned an opportunity of making representations in writing to the Tribunal or, if the Tribunal thinks fit and such organisation or person so desires, of being heard.
