· Ms Diane London v Academy of Safe Therapies Pty Ltd (Civil Dispute)

Ms Diane London initiated legal proceedings against the Academy of Safe Therapies Pty Ltd, seeking compensation for alleged unpaid wages and other entitlements. The case was heard in a relevant Australian court. The primary dispute revolved around the respondent's failure to pay the applicant for her work as a tutor, despite having an agreement in place. The applicant claimed that the respondent had not paid her for certain hours worked, and had failed to provide the requisite payslips.

The court was tasked with determining whether the respondent had indeed failed to compensate the applicant as agreed, and if so, the appropriate quantum of damages. The respondent contested the applicant's claims, arguing that the applicant had not fulfilled her contractual obligations and that the amounts claimed were excessive. The court needed to carefully examine the terms of the employment agreement, the evidence of hours worked, and the documentary proof provided by both parties.

After evaluating the evidence presented, the court found that the respondent had indeed failed to pay the applicant for the hours she worked and had not provided the necessary payslips. The court ruled in favour of the applicant and awarded her $2,952.50 in unpaid wages, along with costs of $132.00 and pre-judgment interest of $90.23, for a total of $3,174.73. The respondent was given 28 days to make the payment.
