Fair Work Act 2009
s.739—Dispute resolution
Application by Emma Goodwin
(C2025/5917)
| DEPUTY PRESIDENT EASTON | SYDNEY, 1 AUGUST 2025 |
Alleged dispute about any matters arising under the enterprise agreement and the NES; [s186(6)] – application incomplete – application dismissed.
On 24 June 2025 Ms Emma Goodwin made an application to deal with a dispute to the Fair Work Commission under s.739 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth).
For the reasons that follow I am satisfied that Ms Goodwin’s application has not been made in accordance with the Act and that it is appropriate to dismiss the application.
Ms Goodwin’s application was incomplete because she did not complete important questions relating to the legal basis of her claim.
Commission staff contacted Ms Goodwin on 27 June 2025 by telephone and email, and 2 July 2025 by telephone and email.
On 17 July 2025 an email was sent to Ms Goodwin asking her to provide a completed Form F10 by no later than 21 July 2025. Over the course of a number of emails with my Chambers, Ms Goodwin has been on notice of the likely consequences of the application remaining incomplete.
Ms Goodwin 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 Goodwin’s application under s.739 using the power available under s.587(1)(a) and make the following order:
The application under s.739 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) made by Ms Emma Goodwin on 24 June 2025 is dismissed.
