Fired lawyer who ‘disgusted’ colleagues appeals Fair Work decision
Deborah Brackenreg, a former solicitor, unsuccessfully appealed a Fair Work Commission decision that upheld her dismissal from Men's Legal Service. Her termination was based on multiple valid reasons, including altering billable hours and using profanity towards an opposing solicitor. Brackenreg argued procedural unfairness and significant factual errors in the original decision, but her appeal was rejected by deputy presidents Amber Millhouse, Judith Wright, and Thomas Roberts, who found no public interest or significant errors in the original ruling.
Qld man ousted following mistreatment of subordinates
Matthias Dorsch, a former employee of HEAD Oceania, was dismissed due to his mistreatment of subordinates, which led to complaints and resignations. The Federal Court upheld the company's decision to terminate his employment, although it imposed a penalty on HEAD Oceania for unpaid leave entitlements. Dorsch's appeal against the termination was dismissed, with the court affirming the authority of the executives involved in his dismissal. The case highlights issues of workplace conduct and the responsibilities of those in positions of power.
Qantas to pay $100m penalty over cancelled flights
Qantas has been ordered to pay a $100 million penalty and a $20 million remediation fee for misleading conduct related to cancelled flights, as approved by the Federal Court. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) highlighted the airline's failure to notify ticketholders of over 10,000 cancelled flights, breaching Australian Consumer Law. Qantas will compensate affected passengers and has committed to system improvements to prevent future violations. The penalty aims to deter similar conduct by other companies, although it was reduced due to Qantas' cooperation. The ACCC also warned of scams targeting affected ticketholders.
Federal Court signs off Qantas ‘ghost flight’ compensation
Qantas has agreed to compensate ticketholders affected by the 'ghost flight' controversy, paying $225 to domestic and $450 to international ticketholders. The controversy, which led to the early exit of former CEO Alan Joyce, involved Qantas advertising tickets for flights that were later canceled without prompt notification. The ACCC reached a deal with Qantas, resulting in a significant penalty to deter future breaches of the Australian Consumer Law. Qantas has committed to system improvements to prevent future occurrences, while the ACCC warns of potential scams targeting affected ticketholders.
Compensation for sacked Qantas ground handlers still unclear
The Federal Court has awarded varying compensation amounts to three former Qantas ground handlers, following a High Court ruling that the airline illegally outsourced nearly 1,700 workers during the pandemic. The Transport Workers Union (TWU) is advocating for reparations, but the remaining workers' compensation remains unresolved pending mediation between TWU and Qantas. Justice Michael Lee criticized the TWU's approach to the case, which may delay a resolution. Qantas argued that the outsourcing was inevitable due to cost-cutting measures, and any compensation will be limited to 12 months post-outsourcing.
Reprimand for lawyer who dodged 9 tax returns
Graham, a lawyer, faced reprimand and penalties for failing to submit multiple tax returns, including income and GST returns. Despite health issues and a tendency to avoid problems, Graham has since complied with tax obligations. The Legal Services Commission argued his explanations were insufficient, but Justice Paul Williams noted that Graham's misconduct was not deliberate. Graham must complete a course with the Queensland Law Society and is banned from applying for a practising certificate until February 2026.
No winners in court costs fight between Qantas and union
Qantas and the Australian and International Pilots Association (AIPA) were involved in a legal dispute over the allocation of second officers under training to A380 aircraft. Both parties sought costs from each other, with AIPA arguing that Qantas acted unreasonably by not accepting a settlement offer, while Qantas claimed AIPA's cross-claim was opportunistic. Justice Goodman dismissed both applications for costs, stating that neither party acted unreasonably in their legal actions.
Court win but no costs for Virgin, Jetstar or Qantas
Virgin, Jetstar, and Qantas won a court ruling against employees who claimed they were unfairly dismissed for not having the COVID-19 vaccination. The court found inadequacies in the employees' statement but allowed them to start again. The airlines sought costs for the hearing, arguing they had pointed out deficiencies in the employees' case. However, Justice Burley ruled that while the airlines were partially successful, the employees' conduct did not warrant a costs order against them.
Compensation looms for sacked Qantas workers
The High Court upheld the Federal Court's decision against Qantas, rejecting the airline's argument that the Fair Work Act did not apply when it terminated ground staff. The Federal Court will hear three test cases to determine compensation for the workers, who have faced significant turmoil according to TWU national secretary Michael Kaine. Concurrently, Qantas was fined by the NSW District Court for unlawfully standing down health and safety representative Theo Seremetidis, with Judge David Russell condemning the airline's actions as 'shameful' and 'deliberate'.
‘Shameful’: Judge fines Qantas $250k over COVID stand down
Qantas was fined $250,000 by the NSW District Court for discriminatory conduct against employee Theo Seremetidis, who was stood down during the COVID-19 pandemic. The fine aims to deter major companies from similar actions, with Judge David Russell emphasizing the importance of the case as the first discrimination case under the Work Health and Safety Act in Australia. Seremetidis received compensation for economic loss and emotional distress. The TWU, which supported Seremetidis, hailed the verdict as a historic moment for corporate accountability.
