Industrial Relations Act 1996

This clause applies to a person who was a Judge of the former Industrial Court (including the Chief Judge and Deputy Chief Judge) and who is appointed as a judicial member of the new Commission under this Part.

In the case of a person who is by this Act appointed as a judicial member and also as President or Vice-President of the new Commission, the remuneration that the person is entitled to be paid is to be not less than the remuneration from time to time determined on the basis of the same comparison with a Judge of the Supreme Court as that on which the remuneration of the person had been determined immediately before the repeal of the 1991 Act. This subclause has effect despite the provisions of the Statutory and Other Offices Remuneration Act 1975 relating to the President and Vice-President.

In the case of a person who is by this Act appointed as another judicial member, Schedule 2 to this Act provides that the remuneration payable is to be the same as that payable to a Judge of the Supreme Court (other than the Chief Justice and the President or a Judge of the Court of Appeal).

Service as a judicial member of the former 1940 Act Commission or as a Judge of the former Industrial Court of a person to whom this clause applies is to be reckoned for all purposes as service as a judicial member of the new Commission.
