the Applicant v Eventful Supports Pty Ltd
What happened

Deputy President Clancy dismissed the Applicant’s application for an unfair dismissal remedy. The Commission found that the application was filed out of time and an extension of time was not warranted. As such, the application was not considered further. "Application dismissed."

What it means for employees
