High Court rules Arbitration Act powers invalid
The High Court held section 29 of the Arbitration Act invalid, stripping the Arbitration Court of powers to punish contempt and to sanction breaches of orders. The ruling rejects the court’s authority to enforce penalties within industrial disputes and clarifies the separation of Commonwealth judicial powers from arbitral functions. The decision drew comment from union leaders and politicians about its impact on conciliation and industrial relations.
