Industrial Relations Commission Regulations 2005

In relation to any matter before the Commission any party to a matter before the Commission may, at least 10 days (or such other time as may be fixed by the Commission) before the date fixed for the hearing of the matter, file a notice in the approved form (a notice to admit) requiring any other party to admit any fact relative to the issue.

The Registrar must serve the notice to admit on the other party.

A party on whom a notice to admit has been served shall, within 7 days or such other time as the Commission, on the application of that party, may direct, file a reply in writing admitting or denying the fact with or without qualification, as the case may be.

The Registrar must serve the reply on the party who filed the notice to admit.

In the case of a failure to reply to a notice to admit within the time prescribed or directed the Commission may direct the party in default to pay the costs of establishing the fact referred to in the notice.
