CaseChat Overview and Summary

The applicants, AJ Convenience Services Pty Ltd trading as 7-Eleven Rozelle and 7-Eleven Bexley, sought approval of the 7-Eleven Fuel and Non-Fuel Enterprise Agreement 2015. This agreement was a proposed enterprise agreement to be entered into between the applicants and their employees. The applicants brought this application in the Fair Work Commission, which is the body responsible for approving such agreements under the Fair Work Act 2009.

The legal issues that the Commission was required to decide were whether the proposed agreement met the requirements of the Act, whether it had been made in accordance with the relevant bargaining processes, and whether it was in the interests of the employees. The Commission considered whether the agreement provided for fair and reasonable terms and conditions, and whether it had been made without any improper conduct by either party.

The Commission found that the agreement met the requirements of the Act and had been made in accordance with the relevant bargaining processes. The Commission also found that the agreement was in the interests of the employees. The Commission noted that the agreement provided for fair and reasonable terms and conditions, and that it had been made without any improper conduct by either party. The Commission was satisfied that the agreement provided for adequate consultation and disclosure, and that it had been made in good faith. The Commission was also satisfied that the agreement provided for the fair and reasonable resolution of any disputes that may arise under it.

The Commission approved the 7-Eleven Fuel and Non-Fuel Enterprise Agreement 2015. The applicants and their employees were directed to give the agreement to the Registrar of the Fair Work Commission within 14 days of the decision. The agreement was to be registered by the Registrar, and would then be in force from the date of registration.
