Mr. John O'Sullivan:

It is a daily sitting fee. The particular sum is paid if the member is present for the full hearing of the tribunal. There is a second rate called a "conference rate", where the member has to attend a division meeting, in other words, if he or she has to come back a second or a third day. Strictly speaking, it is probably not correct to say it is a daily fee; it is the fee for the first day of a hearing.
