Details

The applicants made seven complaints under section 108A(1) of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 that the Union had breached rules relating to the appointment or election of a person to an office of the Union.

Following a hearing on 10 February and 3 March 2026, the Certification Officer refused six of the complaints. He upheld, in part, one complaint but declined to make an enforcement order.
