Industrial Relations Commission Regulations 2005

All documents required to be filed or lodged under the Act or these regulations must be filed or lodged as the case requires in the office of the Registrar.

Subject to this regulation and regulations 5 and 6, documents required to be filed or lodged under the Act or these regulations must, unless in a particular case the Commission otherwise expressly approves, be lodged at a time when the office of the Registrar is open for business.

Where a document is required to be filed or lodged within a prescribed time and the office of the Registrar is not open for business on the last day on which it may be filed or lodged, it is taken to have been filed or lodged within time if it is filed or lodged on the next day that the office of the Registrar is open for business.

Every document required to be filed or lodged under the Act or these regulations and every copy for service must be in the form required by these regulations, clearly written or typed or reproduced on one side only with an adequate margin.

The Registrar is not to accept any document unless it has been fully and correctly completed in accordance with the Act and these regulations.

Appeal books lodged in relation to appeals under sections 49 and 84 of the Act are not documents for the purposes of subregulation (5).

Except where otherwise provided by these regulations or otherwise directed by the Commission, one copy of every document for the use of the Commission together with at least as many copies as there are parties must be filed or lodged in the office of the Registrar.

Where an application is received by the office of the Registrar for which a fee is prescribed for filing and the applicant does not pay the prescribed fee within 7 days from the date the application was received, the Registrar is to inform the applicant in writing of the requirement to pay the prescribed fee.

If the applicant does not pay the prescribed fee within 7 days after being informed under subregulation (8), the Registrar is to forward the application with a memorandum to that effect to the Chief Commissioner.
