87C Complaints by representative bodies
(1) Before a complaint can be made by a representative body as referred to in
section 87A (1) (c), the representative body must satisfy the President--
(a)
that each person on whose behalf the complaint is made consents to the
complaint being made by the body on his or her behalf, and
(b) that the body
has a sufficient interest in the complaint, that is, that the conduct that
constitutes the alleged contravention is a matter of genuine concern to the
body because of the way conduct of that nature adversely affects, or has the
potential to adversely affect--
(i) the interests of the body, or
(ii) the
interests or welfare of the group of people it represents or purports to
represent.
(2) The President may require a representative body that has made
a complaint to nominate a person to appear for the representative body in
conciliation proceedings concerning the complaint before the President.
