This is a very short procedural decision where the Western Australian Industrial Relations Commission cancelled an industrial agreement between the CFMEU and Blackadder Scaffolding. The scaffolding company did not show up to the hearing, so the Commission granted the union's application to cancel the agreement. There is an apparent error in the order itself, which refers to a completely different agreement involving Innes Transport and the Transport Workers' Union rather than the Blackadder Scaffolding agreement mentioned in the case title.
