Overview

The Conciliation and Arbitration Regulations 1910, introduced as Statutory Rules 1912, No. 163 under the Commonwealth Conciliation and Arbitration Act 1904-1911, aim to streamline the process for organisations to legally change their names within the scope of industrial relations. Enacted by the Governor-General in Council, these regulations address the procedural complexities and ensure a formal mechanism for organisations to update their identities as recognised by the Commonwealth. The policy objective is to maintain transparency and clarity in the registration and name change processes, facilitating efficient management of industrial relations matters. The regulations outline specific forms and procedural steps, including application submission, public notice, and objection handling, to be followed by organisations and interested parties.

Scope and Application

The Conciliation and Arbitration Regulations 1910, as amended by Statutory Rules 1912, No. 163, apply to organisations registered under the Commonwealth Conciliation and Arbitration Act 1904-1911, specifically with regard to the process of changing the name of such organisations. These regulations govern the procedure for submitting an application for a name change, which must be made to the Industrial Registrar or Deputy Industrial Registrar in the state where the organisation's office is located. The application must be signed by at least two officers of the organisation, accompanied by a prescribed fee, and supported by a statutory declaration. Additionally, the regulations outline the process for lodging an objection to the name change, allowing any interested organisation or person to object within 21 days of the advertisement of the application. The Industrial Registrar is responsible for managing the hearing of applications and objections, ultimately deciding on the approval or rejection of the name change. These regulations extend across the Commonwealth of Australia, applying uniformly regardless of state or territory boundaries.

Key Provisions

The Conciliation and Arbitration Regulations 1910, as amended by the Statutory Rules 1912 No. 163, introduce new procedures for the change of name of an organization registered under the Commonwealth Conciliation and Arbitration Act 1904-1911. Regulation 17 outlines that an application for a name change must be made using Form 8, signed by two or more officers of the association, and accompanied by the prescribed fee and a statutory declaration. The application must be submitted to the Industrial Registrar or the Deputy Industrial Registrar, depending on the location of the association's office. Additionally, the duplicate of the application must be forwarded to the Industrial Registrar by the Deputy Industrial Registrar. Once the application is received, the Registrar must publish a notice of the application in the Gazette using Form 9. Interested parties have twenty-one days to object to the name change by lodging a notice of objection, along with a statutory declaration, to the Registrar. The Registrar then schedules a hearing and decides on the application. The Act imposes several obligations on the parties involved in the name change process. The association must ensure that the application is properly completed, signed by the requisite number of officers, and accompanied by the required fee and statutory declaration. The Registrar has the duty to advertise the application in the Gazette and to hear objections, if any, within the stipulated timeframe. Objectors must serve notice and a statutory declaration on the association and must ensure that their objection is properly signed and sealed if they are an organization. Both the association and objectors must provide all necessary documentation and attend the hearing if they wish to be heard. Failure to comply with the provisions of the amended regulations may lead to various consequences. While the regulations do not explicitly outline specific offences or penalties for non-compliance, the failure to adhere to the prescribed forms, deadlines, or procedural requirements may result in the application being rejected by the Registrar. Additionally, any party that does not follow the stipulated procedures for lodging an objection or providing necessary documentation may find their objection disregarded. These consequences, though not explicitly stated, imply that strict adherence to the outlined procedures is critical to successfully navigating the name change process under the Act.
