Maconachie v. Woolworths Limited & Anor

Maconachie applied to the Queensland Industrial Relations Commission for an order determining whether a Notice of Assessment given by Woolworths Limited had been made in accordance with a Consent Order. Maconachie sustained injuries over time and had referred to various tribunals. The dispute was whether the Notice of Assessment covered all of the injuries claimed. The court had to decide whether the Notice of Assessment complied with the Consent Order and if it covered all injuries sustained by Maconachie. The court considered the wording of the Consent Order and the scope of the injuries claimed. It found that the Notice of Assessment did not cover all the injuries claimed by Maconachie and ordered Woolworths Limited to deliver a Notice of Assessment for those injuries not previously referred to in a Notice of Assessment. The court also allowed the parties 14 days to make submissions on the issue of costs.
