(The Full Bench also received separate confirmation dated 28 September 2012 from the solicitor for the Commissioner.) Those documents were marked, respectively, Exhibits 168 and 169 in the proceedings. 4We are satisfied the proposed orders reflect our decision with respect to substantive variations to the award. It will also be necessary to make orders rescinding the Crown Employees (Police Officers - 2011) Interim Award. 5In the result, we vary the Crown Employees (Police Officers - 2009) Award in terms of Schedule A, as amended, to Exhibit 168 to these proceedings. 6We further order that the Crown Employees (Police Officers - 2011) Interim Award is rescinded. 7The proceedings are now being directed to the balance of the Association's claim in Matter No IRC 325 of 2011, hitherto described as 'Stage 2' of the proceedings. ********** DISCLAIMER - Every effort has been made to comply with suppression orders or statutory provisions prohibiting publication that may apply to this judgment or decision.
