COMMISSIONER RYAN PERTH, 11 APRIL 2016

Application for relief from unfair dismissal.

[1] Pursuantto s.601 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act), I reduce to writing the decision given orally in transcript on Friday 11April 2016 in relation to an unfair dismissal application of Mr Russell Heath.

[2] I find that the dismissal of Mr Heath was unjust; that reinstatement is not an appropriate remedy and that an order for compensation in the amount of $1,724.44 is an appropriate remedy in lieu of reinstatement.

[4] An order to this effect will issue separately.
