5.1. The policy of the Council is to discourage legal technicalities and to promote dispute resolution in the interests of social justice and labour peace. Accordingly its policy is not to determine jurisdictional disputes at conciliation.

 

5.2. If a party objects to the jurisdiction of the Council the conciliator may—
(a) conciliate the dispute on the basis that attendance and participation of all parties is without prejudice; or
(b) issue a certificate stating that the dispute has not been resolved.
