Case review 02/23/2021
A recent decision of the Full Federal Court is likely to significantly reduce the number of general protections dismissal applications progressing from the Fair Work Commission (FWC) to a federal court for hearing. The FWC will now decide whether there has been a dismissal, if that issue is in question, when the application is lodged with the FWC rather than leaving it to a federal court to decide. If the FWC decides that there has been no dismissal and declines to issue a certificate, the matter will end, saving employers and their insurers the costs of a federal court proceeding.
