Industrial Relations Commission Regulations 2005

An application to join any person as a party to proceedings before the Commission (the substantive proceedings) must —

be made in the approved form; and

name the person the applicant seeks to be joined as a party to the substantive proceedings (the person to be joined); and

have attached a written statement of the grounds on which the application is made and the facts to show that the applicant is entitled to make the application.

The Registrar is to give an application made under subregulation (1) the same distinguishing number as the substantive proceedings to which it relates.

The Registrar must serve a copy of the application and the attachments on —

the person to be joined; and

each other party to the substantive proceedings.

The application is not to be listed for hearing unless —

a response has been received from the person to be joined; or

the time for filing a response has expired; or

the Commission otherwise directs.
