INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS ACT 1996 - SECT 362

362 Power to amend proceedings

(1) If in any proceedings under this Part it appears that the industrial instrument referred to in the initiating proceedings is not the one appropriate to the proceedings and that some other industrial instrument is appropriate to the proceedings, the industrial court may amend the information and proceed to deal with the matter as though proceedings had been instituted under the application as so amended.

(2) If the amendment appears to the industrial court to be of such a kind as to provide reasonable grounds to suspect that the defendant may have been deceived or misled with respect to the nature of the proceedings, the industrial court may adjourn the proceedings.
