STATEMENT

Fair Work Act 2009

Mr Christopher Corey
v
Commissioner for Public Employment T/A Office of the Commissioner for Public Employment and others
(AB2016/526)

VICE PRESIDENT CATANZARITI SYDNEY, 9 SEPTEMBER 2016

Application for an FWC order to stop bullying.

[1] On 5 September 2016 I conducted a conference between the parties. At that conference the parties agreed to the terms set out in Attachment One.

[2] On 7 September 2016 I received written correspondence from Mr Christopher Corey (Applicant) which indicated that he did not wish to be bound by the settlement set out in Attachment One and sought to re-enliven his application in the Fair Work Commission.

[3] Having regards to s.587 of the Fair Work Act 2009, as the matter has settled, there can be no reasonable prospects of success if the application is re-enlivened. In these circumstances, the application is dismissed.
