This is a very brief procedural decision from the Western Australian Industrial Relations Commission. A union (the Civil Service Association) had brought a case about a police officer returning to work. When the case came before Commissioner Kenner on 14 June 2013, the union's application was discontinued. The published judgment does not explain why the case ended this way—it may have been settled between the parties, withdrawn by the union, or discontinued for procedural reasons. No legal principles were decided.
