Industrial Relations Act 1996

An Industrial Committee continues in existence for 3 years after it is established, unless it is sooner dissolved.

The Commission constituted by a Presidential Member may, on application or on its own initiative, dissolve an Industrial Committee.

The Commission constituted by a Presidential Member may extend the duration of an Industrial Committee for a period not exceeding 3 years at a time. The duration of the Committee may be extended even though the current period of the Committee has expired.

If the duration of an Industrial Committee is extended, the existing members of the Committee (or the members of the Committee on its expiration) continue in office without the need for their re-appointment.

Nothing in this section prevents an Industrial Committee that has been dissolved or that has expired from being re-established and new members appointed.

Any matter pending before an Industrial Committee on its dissolution is taken to be pending before the member of the Commission constituting the dissolved Committee in connection with the matter.
