50J: Remedy for serious and sustained breach of duty of good faith in section 4 in relation to collective bargaining
or “The law allows a judge to decide what goes in a work agreement if someone keeps being really unfair during talks about it.”
You could also call this:

“The Employment Relations Authority can decide when talks between workers and bosses are finished.”

This part of the law was removed on 12 December 2018. It used to talk about how the Authority could decide when bargaining was finished. The Authority is no longer allowed to do this. If you want to know more about why this change happened, you can look at section 17 of the Employment Relations Amendment Act 2018.
