109K  Commission procedure regarding multiple applications

 (1) If:
 (a) more than one application for a ballot order is before the Commission for determination; and
 (b) the applications relate to industrial action by employees of the same employer or by employees at the same place of work; and
 (c) the Commission considers that determining the applications at the same time will not unreasonably delay the determination of any of the applications;
the Commission may determine the applications at the same time.

 (2) If:
 (a) the Commission has made an order requiring a ballot to be held in relation to industrial action by employees of an employer, or by employees at a place of work; and
 (b) the Commission proposes to make another order requiring a ballot to be held in relation to industrial action against that employer, or at the same place of work; and
 (c) the Commission considers that the level of disruption of the employer's business, or at the place of work (as the case requires), could be reduced if the ballots were held at the same time; and
 (d) the Commission considers that requiring the ballots to be held at the same time will not unreasonably delay the conduct of either ballot;
the Commission may make, or vary, the relevant orders so as to require the ballots to be held at the same time.
