- ›The holder is identified in the header, but no substantive response or observations are recorded because the case was resolved on admissibility.
- ›The Division found the application lacked a reasoned statement of facts, evidence, and arguments, and also lacked the employee representative's required authorisation.
- ›After the applicant failed to remedy both deficiencies within the set time limit, the application was rejected as inadmissible and the fee was not refunded.
