(b)

the Certification Officer has not come to a decision on the application (or each of the applications).

141.(1)

The Court must give notice to the worker (or workers), the employer and the union (or unions) of receipt of an application under paragraph 137.

(2)

Within the acceptance period the Court must decide whether the application is admissible within the terms of paragraphs 137 to 140.

(c)

at the time the Court is so satisfied there has been no agreement or withdrawal as described in paragraph 142(1) or 145(3).
