Industrial Relations (Consequential Provisions) Act 1988

An appeal lies to a Full Bench, with the leave of the Full Bench, against a relevant decision made within the period of 21 days immediately before the commencement.

A Full Bench shall grant leave to appeal under subsection (1) if, in its opinion, the matter is of such importance that, in the public interest, leave should be granted.

An appeal under this section may be instituted by a person who, under the previous Act or the Australian Federal Police Act 1979, could have instituted an appeal against the relevant decision before the commencement.

Section 45 (other than subsections (1), (2) and (3)) of the Industrial Relations Act applies in relation to an appeal under this section in the same way as it applies in relation to appeals under section 45 of that Act.

Where any difficulty arises in the application of this section in a particular case, the President may, subject to any order made by the Court under section 95, give directions not inconsistent with the Industrial Relations Act to resolve the difficulty.

In this section, relevant decision means:

an award or decision referred to in paragraph 35(2)(a), (b) or (c) of the previous Act;

the making of an order, or the refusal to make an order, referred to in paragraph 35(2)(d) of the previous Act;

an award or decision of the Flight Crew Officers Industrial Tribunal referred to in paragraph 88ZG(2)(a), (b) or (c) of the previous Act; or

a determination or decision by the Federal Police Arbitral Tribunal referred to in paragraph 54(2)(a) or (b) of the Australian Federal Police Act 1979.
