Industrial Relations Act 2016

This section applies to a complaint made to the chief executive under old section 636A but not finalised at the commencement.

The chief executive, and others, may deal with the complaint as if it had been made under section 859.

Subsection (4) applies if—

something was done or happened in relation to the complaint under a provision of the repealed Act (the old provision); and

a provision of this Act is a corresponding provision to the old provision.

The thing that was done or happened under the old provision is taken to have been done or to have happened under the corresponding provision for the purpose of dealing with the complaint under this Act.

Subsection (4) does not apply to a thing that was done or happened in relation to the complaint if the thing was, or is alleged to be, a contravention of an old provision.

For this section, a provision of this Act (the new provision) is a corresponding provision to an old provision if the new provision deals with its subject matter in a similar way to the way the same subject matter was dealt with by the old provision.
