The Industrial Relations Commission of New South Wales consisted of both judicial and non-judicial members, and its members could exercise the arbitration powers of the commission. However, only the Commission sitting "in Court Session" could exercise the judicial functions of the commission. When the commission sat as the "Commission in Court Session", it was referred to and was known as the "Industrial Court of New South Wales". Only a judicial member could hear matters where such relief was sought from the Court.
