Payment policy for cancelled and half tribunals

Q-COMP attempts to accommodate members as well as possible in terms of paying doctors appropriately for tribunals that are either reduced from the usual two or three cases to one matter (referred to as a half tribunal), or in circumstances where the tribunal is completely cancelled.
