Zigor Arce Delgado v Rapture Tiling PTY LTD.
Citation: [2026] FWC 91
What happened
Zigor Arce Delgado commenced proceedings in the Fair Work Commission regarding a dismissal. The matter was dismissed by the Commission under section 587, due to a failure to prosecute the case. This means Mr Arce Delgado did not actively pursue the application, potentially by failing to file required documents or attend hearings. Deputy President Easton heard the case.
What was decided
The Fair Work Commission dismissed Zigor Arce Delgado’s application for an unfair dismissal remedy. The Commission found the application was dismissed under section 587, because Mr Arce Delgado failed to actively pursue the case. The Commission’s decision was made at its own initiative due to this lack of prosecution.
