Rule 3904 Division 3.13.2 Workers compensation—applications for arbitration Note to div 3.13.2 The Workers Compensation Regulation 2002, div 6.2 deals with conciliation. A conciliation of a matter in issue arising from a worker’s claim for compensation (other than rejection of the claim by an insurer) must be held before arbitration of the matter (see s 38). The Workers Compensation Regulation 2002, pt 7 provides for a committee rather than the court to arbitrate matters in certain cases (see esp s 51).
