Arbitral award
81(1)Subject to section 84, the matters in dispute specified in the statements under subsection 79(1) sent by the Board to the chairperson of the arbitration tribunal constitute the terms of reference of the arbitration tribunal.
81(2)As soon as is practicable after the receipt of the notice referred to in subsection 79(2) the arbitration tribunal shall inquire into the matters in dispute and endeavour to effect a settlement.
81(3)If the arbitration tribunal is unable to effect a settlement the arbitration tribunal shall, after considering the matters in dispute together with any other matter that the arbitration tribunal considers necessarily incidental to the resolution of the matters in dispute, render an arbitral award in respect of the matters in dispute.
81(4)Where, at any time before an arbitral award is rendered in respect of the matters in dispute referred by the Board to the arbitration tribunal, the parties reach agreement on any such matter and enter into a collective agreement in respect of that matter, the matters in dispute so referred to the arbitration tribunal shall be deemed not to include that matter and no arbitral award shall be rendered by the arbitration tribunal in respect of that matter.
