   ...action. [14] The idea of using the security camera footage followed on from an email that a senior manager had circulated to WorldxChange staff that same day under the heading “Friday night bullshit”. The email was directed at staff who had disabled the security cameras in reception during what was apparently a drunken party on the Friday night. The email asked the staff concerned to start saving their pennies and invited them to front up to the manager‟s office with an a...

   ...discovered what had been incorrectly said about him. [80] The other matter was the company’s failure to respond to his 8 September 2003 letter. In that letter Mr Mitchell spoke of his trouble in writing, a reference to a serious learning disability which made the production of that letter very difficult. Having gone to that trouble and re-aired all the problems which he had accumulated over the years, it was a serious blow to receive no response at all, let alone an improveme...

   ...adult, and her advocate, Mr Nee Harland. Mr Nee Harland concluded that the right party or should he say parties, are in Court. In fact he said they are both in Court and support each other. [67] Mr Nee Harland submitted that because of Grace’s disability, her age and in fact total dependence on her parents as her legal representatives as that term is used in s.97 of the 1982 Act, it really is of no practical importance that Grace signed the claim form in 2002. [68] From com...

   ...season.6 [21] The only medical evidence of incapacity to work for any period appears to comprise the letter prepared by Mr Denis Atkinson giving an historical account of his treatment of the appellant from 8 January 1987, when he prepared a Permanent Disability Report for the Corporation. Concerning the relevant periods, Mr Atkinson said that the appellant was totally unfit for work at the date of his report. He further assessed her on 2 April 1987, and he "thought she was fit to re...

   ...the shoulder.” [16] On 18 December 1980, Mr McMillan also requested the Corporation cover the appellant’s current condition. He gave a detailed medical and work history and noted that the appellant was left with very considerable permanent disability at his right shoulder and as the appellant had only done labouring work in the past, he was obviously going to have difficulty in finding employment in the future. [17] Mr McMillan said at page 2 of his report: “The original o...

   ...prior to him deciding what the outcome of the process should be. About three weeks later Ms Thomas provided a brief medical certificate from Mr Butterfield’s GP that noted: He has struggled with mental health issues for some time being disabled with anxiety and stress symptoms following three assaults from former work mates. I have no doubt his mental health issues have resulted in bad decision making. Currently he [is] seeing a counsellor and taking medications. He...

    ...the Authority process. [49] Dr Borren’s 11 July instruction I find subverted or pre-empted the dispute resolution process from being applied effectively as intended under the Act and the employment agreement. Dr Borren’s blatant attempt to disable any opposition to him in response or reply to the personal grievance was not an action in good faith towards Ms Manoharan. I consider, from the evidence, that his retraction, some two weeks later, did little to reassure those who fe...
