South Australian Consolidated Acts (1) The Tribunal may
refer contested proceedings to a conference of the parties to explore the
possibilities of resolving the matters at issue by agreement and must (subject
to subsection (2)) refer contested proceedings to such a conference if
the proceedings are of a class prescribed by regulation for the purposes of
this section.
(2) However, even
though proceedings are of a class prescribed by regulation for the purposes of
this section, a conference need not be held if a member or officer of the
Tribunal dispenses with the conference on the ground that the conference would
serve no useful purpose or there is some other proper reason to dispense with
the conference.
