Facts of the Case

Background

The first respondent applied to the second respondent (Acting Registrar of Labour) for variation of the scope and operation of its trade union registration. The Registrar published notice in the Gazette and subsequently granted the application. The applicants, who are employers in the same industry, sought review of this decision alleging breach of natural justice as they were not individually invited to make representations.
