179 Proceedings before FWC
(1) In any proceedings before the FWC, the FWC may exempt a person from compliance with a procedural requirement under the Act or these Regulations if the FWC is satisfied there are special circumstances. (2) An exemption under subregulation (1) may be granted: (a) absolutely; or (b) subject to conditions. (3) Failure to comply with a procedural requirement for proceedings before the FWC does not render the proceedings void but the proceedings may be: (a) set aside, either wholly or in part, as irregular; or (b) amended; or (c) otherwise dealt with as and how the FWC thinks fit.
