COMMISSIONER CLOGHAN PERTH, 15 APRIL 2013

Unfair dismissal.

[1] On 22 December 2012, Fair Work Australia, now Fair Work Commission, received an application from Ms Courtney Wilson (Applicant) seeking a remedy for alleged unfair dismissal from her employment with Grand Theatre Company Pty Ltd T/A/ Grand Cinemas (Employer).

[2] The application was made pursuant to s.394 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (FW Act).

[3] At the request of the Employer, conciliation did not take place and the application was referred to me for arbitration on 14 February 2013.

[4] On 18 February 2013, I issued procedural directions for a hearing on 7 May 2013.

[5] The Applicant failed to comply with procedural directions required on 6 and 20 March 2013.

[6] On 4 April 2013, I wrote to the Applicant seeking an explanation as to why she had not complied with procedural directions. In the correspondence, I advised the Applicant that should she not comply with the procedural directions by 11 April 2013, or I do not receive any response from her by the same date, I intended to dismiss the application.

[7] The Applicant has not complied with the procedural directions nor has she responded to my correspondence.

[8] For the reasons set out above, the application is dismissed pursuant to paragraph 587(3)(a) of the FW Act. An order to this effect is issued with this decision and reasons for decision.
