Common use of Relations Authority Clause in Contracts

Relations Authority. This Authority is an investigative body that operates in an informal way.

The Authority may call evidence, hold investigative meetings, or interview anyone involved. It can direct the parties to try mediation.

Any party can contest the Authority’s decision through the Employment Court.
