(1) A police officer in respect of whom an order for
reviewable action is made under section 173 may apply to the Industrial
Relations Commission (referred to in this Division as the
"Commission" ) for a review of the order on the ground that the order is
beyond power or is harsh, unreasonable or unjust.
(2) An application may be
made on behalf of the police officer by an industrial organisation of
employees.
(3) An industrial organisation of employees may make one
application on behalf of a number of police officers in respect of whom orders
for reviewable action have been made at the same time or for related reasons.
However, this subsection does not prevent the Commission from hearing a number
of applications together or individually.
(4) An application may not be made
by or on behalf of a police officer more than 21 days after the date on which
written notice of the making of the order to which it relates was served on
the police officer.
(5) Except to the extent to which the regulations
otherwise provide, it is the duty of the Commissioner to make available to the
applicant, for inspection and copying, all of the documents and other material
on which the Commissioner has relied, or to which the Commissioner has had
regard, in deciding to make the order to which the application relates.
