Superannuation Administration Act 1996

A person aggrieved by a determination of STC or an STC disputes committee under section 67 (relating to determination of disputes) may appeal against the determination to the Industrial Relations Commission in Court Session (the Commission).

The appeal must be made within 6 months after the appellant is notified of the determination or within such further period as the Commission allows.

In dealing with the appeal, the Commission may exercise any function that could have been exercised by STC or the STC disputes committee, as the case may be, in making the determination the subject of the appeal.

In dealing with the appeal, the Commission is to have regard to this Act and any other relevant provisions regulating the superannuation scheme concerned and such other matters as it considers to be relevant.

In dealing with the appeal, the Commission is not bound by the rules of evidence and may inform itself in any manner it thinks fit.

The final determination made by the Commission on the appeal is to be given effect to as if it were a determination of STC.
