the Applicant v Procter & Gamble Australia Pty. Limited
Citation: [2025] FWC 2175
What happened
the Applicant sought to have an application dealt with under section 365 of the Fair Work Act. This section allows for extensions of time in certain circumstances. Procter & Gamble Australia Pty. Limited was the respondent. The Fair Work Commission considered whether to grant an extension of time for the Applicant’s application.
What was decided
The Fair Work Commission, Deputy President [COLMAN], dismissed the application to deal with the contraventions. The decision states, “Application made under s 365 – extension of time – application dismissed”. No reasoning was provided beyond this statement.
What it means for employers
Employers should ensure they are aware of the time limits for lodging applications under the Fair Work Act. Failure to adhere to these timelines can result in applications being dismissed.
What it means for employees
Employees need to be mindful of the deadlines for lodging applications with the Fair Work Commission. If a deadline is approaching, seek legal advice promptly to assess options for extensions.
