Saad v Ada Evans Chambers Pty Ltd

In *Saad v Ada Evans Chambers Pty Ltd*, the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia was asked to determine the quantum of compensation payable to the applicant, Mr Saad, for contraventions of section 45 of the *Fair Work Act 2009* (Cth). The applicant sought compensation for both economic and non-economic loss pursuant to section 545 of the Act.

The central legal issue before the Court was whether the applicant had established a claim for economic or non-economic loss arising from the contraventions found in a prior judgment, *Saad (No 1)*. The Court was required to assess the evidence presented by the applicant to support these claims and determine the appropriate amount of compensation, if any, to be awarded.

Judge Nicholls found that the applicant had not adduced sufficient evidence to establish either economic or non-economic loss. Consequently, the Court refused to award any damages in compensation to the applicant.
