1. The reason an application is withdrawn
As the case was withdrawn, one of the following will have happened:
1) Having submitted its application to the CAC, a union may, for whatever reason, subsequently decide that it no longer wishes to pursue statutory recognition and can withdraw the application. The union can unilaterally withdraw its application from the statutory process at any stage up to either the date that the CAC declares it recognised without a ballot or the date that it receives a notice that the CAC intends to arrange a ballot.
2) A union may have reached a voluntary agreement with an employer which makes the need for any further consideration by the CAC unnecessary; in such circumstances the parties can jointly request that the CAC cease its considerations. This can be done at any stage of the process up to the date the CAC declares the union recognised or the last day of the ballot notification period.
