DECISION By an appl icat ion in matter No . DSS0 of 1993 the Fed erated En gine Dri vers ' and Firemens' Association of Austral as ia Queensland Branch, Union of Employees seeks to have a "part- heard" matter n ow before Commissioner Bloomfield referred to a Full Bench of the Commission. I interpo late t hat I say "part- heard'.' because Commi ss ioner Bloomfield has sought to reso l ve the di spute by way of concili ation between the parties. I am p re pa re d to assume, but do not decide, that the phrase "before the commencement of a hearing of a matter" is satisfied if the application is ma de aft er conciliation i s complete but before the Comm,ss,oner has proceeded to arbitration. Such an application may succeed only where, after hearing the parties in chambers I am sat isfied th_at the matter to_ which the proceedings rel ate is 'of suc h substantial ,nd us tnal significance that it should be so referre d. I h eard the ~arti es in chambers on 10 September'"l 993. I was not so satisfied, and for that reason di smissed the application. D. R. HALL, Chief Industri al Commissioner. Appearances :- M r B.
