Section 536PL — Fair Work Act 2009: Decisions on applications for road transport contractual chain orders

(1) If an application for a road transport contractual chain order is made to the FWC under subsection 536PE(1), the FWC may decide to: (a) refuse to consider the application; or (b) make a road transport contractual chain order under subsection 536PD(1); or (c) not make a road transport contractual chain order; or (d) if the FWC considers it appropriate to do so, instead make road transport contractual chain guidelines under section 536QP, as if the application had been an application under subsection 536QQ(1) for road transport contractual chain guidelines in relation to the persons in a road transport contractual chain covered by the application under subsection 536PE(1). (2) Without limiting subsection (1), the FWC may refuse to consider the application if it is not consistent with a direction of the President under subsection 582(4D) (prioritisation).
