FAIR WORK COMMISSION

DECISION

Fair Work Act 2009
s.394—Unfair dismissal

Denise Harper
v
Casey Optometrists Pty Ltd
(U2020/4957)

COMMISSIONER BISSETT MELBOURNE, 11 AUGUST 2020

Application for an unfair dismissal remedy – no reasonable prospect of success – application dismissed pursuant to s.587(1)(c).

[1] Ms Denise Harper (Applicant) made an application to the Fair Work Commission for relief from unfair dismissal pursuant to s.394 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (FW Act).

[2] On 19 June 2020 the Applicant’s representative advised the Commission that the parties had reached an agreement to settle the matter. As a result, the directions for filing and hearing dates set for the matter were vacated.

[3] Since that time, the Commission has attempted to contact the Applicant and her representative to obtain a Form F50 Notice of Discontinuance to enable the file to be closed. To date, no response has been received.

[4] As the Commission has been advised that this matter is settled and neither the Applicant nor her representative has contacted the Commission to attempt to prosecute this case, I am satisfied that the matter has settled and that the application therefore has no reasonable prospects of success. As such, the matter is dismissed pursuant to s.587(1)(c) of the FW Act.
