Commonwealth Numbered Regulations Commonwealth Numbered Regulations(1) This regulation applies to an appeal that continues, or may be instituted, under this Division.
(2) The Full Bench may determine that an appeal should not be heard, or further heard, to the extent that the Full Bench believes that:
(a) a decision to uphold the appeal could not be effectively implemented under the Act; or
(b) the matter has no practical application under the Act.
Example
If an appeal related to the variation of a term of an award that would cease to have effect after the reform commencement under section 525 of, or clause 27 of Schedule 6 to, the Act, the Full Bench could decide that the appeal (or part of the appeal) should not continue.
(3) If an appeal has not been finally determined within 6 months after the reform commencement, it lapses at the end of that period.
(4) Despite the repeal of section 45 of the pre‑reform Act by the Work Choices Act, subsections 45 (2) to (9) of the pre‑reform Act apply as if those subsections had not been repealed.
