Part 2  Practice and procedure for referrals

3. Documents to be filed in Registry

(1)All documents required by this Part to be filed or lodged are to be filed or lodged in the Registrar’s office.

(2)Documents are to be filed or lodged during the times in which, and on any day on which, the Registrar’s office is open for business unless the Registrar or a Deputy Registrar directs otherwise.

(3)Where a document is required to be filed or lodged within a prescribed time and the Registrar’s office is not open for business on the last day on which it may be filed or lodged, the document may be taken to have been filed or lodged, as the case may be, within time if it is filed or lodged on the first day the Registrar’s office is open for business following that time.

(4)With the prior consent of the Registrar, a document may be filed or lodged by sending a facsimile of the original document by facsimile transmission to the Registrar’s office.

(5)Subject to subregulations (6) and (7), where a document is sent by facsimile transmission, filing or lodgment of the document is to be treated as being effected upon completion of the transmission of the document unless it is subsequently established by or on behalf of the Registrar that the document was not in fact received by the Registrar’s office facsimile machine.

(6)Except as otherwise directed by a Commissioner, when a document is filed under this Part, there is also to be lodged such number of copies of the document as there are parties to the matter.

(7)The Registrar or a member of the Registrar’s staff may reject a document for filing or lodgment if the document — 

(a)is not in the form, or does not contain an endorsement, required by this Part;

(b)is not legible in whole or in part;

(c)is incomplete; or

(d)is not accompanied by the fee set out in regulation 29 for the filing or lodgment of the document, as the case may be.

4. Procedure to be followed by Registrar

(1)The Registrar is to issue all processes out of the Commission in relation to this Part and stamp each document accepted for filing or to be issued under this Part with the Commission’s stamp, endorsed with the date and time of filing or issue.

(2)The Registrar is to cause each notice of referral to be marked with a distinguishing number and all documents subsequently taken in by, and any determination of, the Commission in relation to the referral to be marked with the same number.

(3)The Registrar is to cause copies of documents lodged under regulation 3 (6) to be stamped and returned to the lodging party.

(4)The Registrar is to keep a register of all referrals and the entries in the records kept with regard to each referral are to be entered together and kept separate from entries that relate to any other referral.

5. Notices of referrals

(1)A referral is to be commenced by a notice in the form of Form 1 in Schedule 1 that is filed together with the attachments required by subregulation (2) (b).

(2)A notice of referral is to — 

(a)be signed by the applicant or the applicant’s agent; and

(b)have attached a copy of — 

(i)the workplace agreement that is the subject of the referral; and

(ii)if the agreement under section 7F of the Act for the referral is separate from the workplace agreement, the written agreement for the referral.

6. Service of notice of referral

(1)Subject to an order made under subregulation (2), a copy of the notice of referral and each of the attachments to it that have been lodged with, and stamped by, the Registrar is to be served —

(b)on any other persons bound under section 12 (1) of the Workplace Agreements Act 1993 by,

the workplace agreement that is the subject of the referral.

(2)The Commission may order that a person need not be served as required under subregulation (1) if the Commission is satisfied that — 

(a)the person — 

(i)has been informed of the nature of each matter that is proposed to be a subject of the referral;

(ii)has been informed that each matter referred to in subparagraph (i) is proposed to be a subject of the referral; and

(iii)has decided not to be a party to the referral;

or

(b)the outcome of the referral would be of such insignificance to the person as to justify the person not being served.

(3)An application for an order under subregulation (2) is to be made to the Commission in chambers and dealt with ex parte unless the Commission directs otherwise.

(4)The grounds on which the application is made are to be set out in the application in relation to each person proposed not to be served.

7. Applications to the Commission in chambers

An application under this Part to the Commission in chambers is to be in the form of Form 2 in Schedule 1 and filed.

(5)The deposition taken on the examination is to be taken down in writing by, or in the presence of, the examiner so as to represent as nearly as may be the statement of the witness, and when completed is to be read to or by the witness and signed when correct by the witness in the presence of the parties who attended the examination.

(6)The examiner is to cause the original signed deposition to be filed.

(7)Unless otherwise directed by the Commission, no deposition may be given in evidence at the hearing without the consent of the party against whom the deposition may be offered in evidence unless the Commission is satisfied that the deponent is dead or beyond the jurisdiction of the Commission or unable from sickness or other cause to attend the hearing; in any of which cases the deposition certified by the examiner is admissible in evidence without proof of the signature to the certificate.
