TASMANIAN INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION Industrial Relations Act 1984 Tasmanian Chamber of Retailers and The Retail Traders Association of Tasmania
Registration as an Organisation of Employers REASONS FOR DECISION This application for registration was lodged by the Tasmanian Chamber of Retailers on 22nd November 1990. Following the serving of statutory notices pursuant to Section 63 2(b) of the Act, a notice of objection to the registration of the abovenamed was lodged by The Retail Traders Association of Tasmania on the grounds that an organisation to which members of the applicant might conveniently belong is already in existence. In accordance with the requirements of the Act a hearing was convened for the purpose of hearing and determining the objection on 20 December 1990. Following preliminary submissions the hearing was adjourned to permit discussions between the objector and the applicant with a view to overcoming the objection of The Retail Traders Association of Tasmania. When the hearing resumed on 23rd January 1991 I was informed that a settlement had been reached and an exchange of letters reflecting the agreed position between the parties was tendered, which now form part of the record in this matter. In the circumstances the parties are to be commended for their endeavours in obtaining a settlement which provided for the withdrawal of the objection by The Retail Traders Association of Tasmania and paved the way for the applicant organisation to be registered. I am satisfied that the application for registration by the Tasmanian Chamber of Retailers complies with the requirements for registration specified in the Act and the application is now granted. A certificate of registration will be issued pursuant to Section 64(1) following the determination by a Commissioner of award interest.
