An application under section 109 may be made by phone, fax, email, radio, video conferencing or another form of electronic communication if the authorised officer considers it necessary because of— urgent circumstances; or other special circumstances including, for example, the authorised officer’s remote location. The application— may not be made before the authorised officer prepares the written application under section 109 (2) ; but may be made before the written application is sworn. The industrial magistrate may issue the warrant (the original warrant ) only if the industrial magistrate is satisfied— it was necessary to make the application under subsection (1) ; and the way the application was made under subsection (1) was appropriate. After the industrial magistrate issues the original warrant— if there is a reasonably practicable way of immediately giving a copy of the warrant to the authorised officer, for example, by sending a copy by fax or email, the industrial magistrate must immediately give a copy of the warrant to the authorised officer; or otherwise— the industrial magistrate must tell the authorised officer the date and time the warrant is issued and the other terms of the warrant; and the authorised officer must complete a form of warrant including by writing on it— the industrial magistrate’s name; and the date and time the magistrate issued the warrant; and the other terms of the warrant. The copy of the warrant mentioned in subsection (4) (a) , or the form of warrant completed under subsection (4) (b) (in either case the duplicate warrant ) is a duplicate of, and as effectual as, the original warrant.

The industrial magistrate must keep the original warrant and, on receiving the documents under subsection (6) — attach the documents to the original warrant; and give the original warrant and documents to the clerk of the court of the relevant industrial magistrates court.
