| COMMISIONER CRAWFORD | SYDNEY, 30 JULY 2024 |
Application under section 596 for representation by lawyers and paid agents – consideration of application for recusal on grounds of perceived apprehended bias – application refused
The Applicants[1] seeking to be represented by Employee Dismissals have requested that I recuse myself from the Full Bench dealing with whether they should be granted permission to be represented on the ground of a reasonable apprehension of bias.
The submissions relied upon by the Applicants are set out in the Decision of Deputy President Wright (the Decision).[2]
I am not a member of the Paid Agents Working Group and do not need to consider the Applicants’ submissions concerning this issue.
I agree with and adopt the reasons[3] in the Decision and on that basis I reject the requests for me to recuse myself from these matters. I have determined that I will continue as a member of the Full Bench.
