In Hearings and Judgements, GCR section 8.2, add the following:
"For the purpose of this section, the term "party" means anyone who has protested or been protested, or who is the subject of a
Chief Steward's Request for Action, in addition to anyone found to have been involved with and possibly responsible for the
incident(s) in question. Where one of the parties is a minor, it is recommended that one adult (parent, guardian, or other)
accompany the minor to the hearing, with the understanding that it is only the minor who is being interviewed (unless the
parent, guardian, or other adult is also a witness)."
