Aleksandra Cvejic v Academy Services Pty Ltd

Aleksandra Cvejic sought relief from her dismissal from Academy Services Pty Ltd, claiming it was unfair. The dispute centred around whether her dismissal was a genuine redundancy, involving issues of operational reasons, consultation, and redeployment. The Fair Work Commission heard the case.

The court needed to determine if the dismissal was a genuine redundancy, whether Academy Services fulfilled its obligation to consult, and if there were any viable redeployment opportunities. Additionally, the court had to consider if the dismissal was harsh, unjust, or unreasonable.

The Fair Work Commission concluded that the dismissal was a genuine redundancy due to operational reasons. The company had demonstrated that the role was no longer required and had fulfilled its duty to consult. The court found that there were no suitable alternative positions for redeployment. Consequently, the application for relief from dismissal was dismissed.

The Fair Work Commission did not grant relief from dismissal and ruled in favour of Academy Services.
