Fair Work Act 2009
s.372—General protections
Application by Dhana Bhandari
(C2025/633)
| DEPUTY PRESIDENT EASTON | SYDNEY, 27 MARCH 2025 |
Application to deal with contraventions not involving dismissal –application fee not paid or waived – application not made in accordance with the Act – application dismissed.
On 27 January 2025 Ms Dhana Bhandari made a general protections application under s.372 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth).
The application filed by Ms Dhana Bhandari was incomplete as she had not completed the Respondent details, and questions 2.1, 3.1, and 3.3.
Section 587(1)(a) allows the Commission to dismiss Ms Bhandari’s application without conducting a hearing, so long as the applicant has been afforded procedural fairness.
Ms Bhandari has had ample opportunity to rectify the deficiency in the application and also ample opportunity to show why her application should not be dismissed under s.587 (see generally Bond v Carbridge Pty Ltd T/A Carbridge [2024] FWC 1302 at [15]-[16] and the cases cited therein).
I have decided to dismiss Ms Bhandari’s general protections claim using the power available under s.587(1)(a) and make the following order:
The application under s.372 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) made by Ms Dhana Bhandari on 27 January 2025 is dismissed.
