Regulski v State of Victoria

Paul Regulski brought an action against the State of Victoria, the Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation, Mark Windisch, and Gabrielle Levine, alleging that they contravened certain provisions of the Fair Work Act 2009 while he was employed by them. The applicant also claimed that the conduct of the first and second respondents constituted breaches of implied terms of his contract of employment. The case was heard by the Federal Court of Australia. The legal issues before the court were whether the actions taken against the applicant were adverse actions taken because he had or exercised a workplace right, and whether the respondents breached implied terms of the applicant's contract of employment. The court found that the actions taken against the applicant were not adverse actions taken because he had or exercised a workplace right, and that the respondents did not breach any implied terms of the applicant's contract of employment. The court dismissed the application.
