Common confusion points
Confusing 'Motion' with 'Application': They are related, but Motion is the formal request itself.
Not knowing which Industrial Relations Act applies: The form covers several; you must specify which one governs your dispute (e.g., Trade Union Acts).
Filing it in the wrong court registry: Filing it where the case isn't assigned can cause delays.
Assuming the relief is automatic: Just filling out Form 36I does not guarantee the court will grant what you ask for.
