the Applicant v Golding Mining Pty Ltd

Citation: [2025] FWC 3927

What happened

the Applicant sought an extension of time to deal with contraventions involving a dismissal. Golding Mining Pty Ltd was the respondent. The Fair Work Commission considered an application under s 365 of the Fair Work Act.

What was decided

The Fair Work Commission dismissed the Applicant’s application for an extension of time. The decision states, "Application made under s 365 – extension of time – application dismissed".

What it means for employers

Employers should ensure they adhere to time limits for lodging applications and dealing with contraventions under the Fair Work Act. Failure to do so may result in applications being dismissed.

What it means for employees

Employees need to be aware of the time limits for making applications to the Fair Work Commission. Missing these deadlines can prevent a case from being heard.
