Terms of reference

To review legal aspects of the current operation of the Industrial Relations Act 1991 (NSW), and consider in particular:

  1. the system of registration of industrial organisations, including the constitutional validity of any such system; and

  2. the appropriate allocation of matters or proceedings between judicial and other members of an industrial tribunal or court constituted under a New South Wales law.
