Fair Work Act 2009

Zongli Li
v
Foxville Projects Group (NSW) Pty Ltd
(U2024/15168)
| DEPUTY PRESIDENT EASTON | SYDNEY, 11 JULY 2025 |
Application for an unfair dismissal remedy – dismissal under s.587 for want of prosecution.
On 17 December 2024, Mr Zongli Li made an unfair dismissal application to the Fair Work Commission under s.394 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth).
Mr Li’s application raised a concern about, in the first instance that Foxville Projects Group (NSW) Pty Ltd being in administration and at later date, about liquidation.
Commission staff tried to contact Mr Li on 10 February, 11 March and 16 June 2025 about this concern. Mr Li has not responded to the Commission’s correspondence.
Section 587 allows the Commission to dismiss an application on the Commission’s own initiative for want of prosecution. If an applicant’s conduct or omissions show that they are no longer willing to participate in their own case the Commission is not required to persevere with the application (see Viavattene v Health Care Australia [2013] FWCFB 2532 at [39]).
I am satisfied that Mr Li has had the opportunity to put a case for consideration on all matters material to the decision to dismiss the application under s.587. In the circumstances I am satisfied that the facility under s.587 can and should be engaged to dismiss Mr Li’s application. I make the following order:
A.The application under s.394 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) made by Mr Zongli Li on 17 December 2024 is dismissed.
