A record of a conciliation agreement under s 76 of the Anti-Discrimination Act 1998 (Tas) does not need to be signed by each party before it can be filed in the Supreme Court for enforcement under s 90(1)(b). The record made by the Commissioner under s 76(1) is sufficient. A direction by a judge to a registrar under r 38 of the Supreme Court Rules 2000 to accept documents for filing is an administrative decision amenable to judicial review under the Judicial Review Act 2000 (Tas). The question of whether an agreement was in fact reached at a conciliation conference remains open and may be raised in enforcement proceedings.
