The Registrar must, within 14 days after the lodging of the minutes of an award or order, give to the parties such notice of the Registrar’s intention to settle the minutes as he or she thinks proper, but may, if the Registrar thinks it unnecessary to give notice to a party, settle the minutes without giving notice to that party.
