Facts of the Case

Background

The appellant appealed against a determination by the Designated Agent of the National Employment Council (Mining Industry) which awarded USD66,049.05 to 45 employees for alleged underpayment. The appeal centered on whether the Mining Workers Union had the necessary locus standi to represent the claimants and whether affidavits dated after the claim was filed could validly authorize representation.
