Thanks for your reply Lawrie.
If I understand you correctly, the ‘common rule’ process doesn’t legally exist in the other states because of state legislation or some such.
Are you also saying that it is easier to amend or update in the ‘award plus respondent’ process, than in a ‘common rule’ application?
Another question. If a company is not a respondent (in an applicable jurisdiction), how is the ‘roping in’ process initiated and conducted? How long does the process take? Is it retrospective in any way? i.e. to the date of application?
Inquiring minds etc.
