Good morning everyone

Please join us tonight for our monthly committee meeting kicking off at 6.00pm on Zoom. The topic for this evening's meeting is around adverse action and what it means to be “able to” make a complaint or inquiry in relation to employment.

Since Shea v TRUenergy Services Pty Ltd (No 6) [2014] FCA 271, the Federal Courts have grappled with the words “able to” contained in 341(1)(c)(ii) of the FW Act.

In 2020, differently constituted Full Federal Court benches gave conflicting views about the proper construction of those words in PIA Mortgage Services Pty Ltd v King [2020] FCAFC 15 and Cummins South Pacific Pty Ltd v Keenan [2020] FCAFC 204.

Barristers David Chin SC and Miles Foran from 5 Wentworth will explore the different views and their impact on adverse action litigation.

We hope you can join us for what will be an insightgul and thought provoking discussion.

Details to join via Zoom are as follows:
