Procedural Posture

Costs Application in a Fair Work Division Proceeding / Respondent's Oral Application for Costs After the First Applicant's Unsuccessful Application for Leave to Appeal From a Federal Circuit Court of Australia Judgment

Legal Issues

  1. 1 ["Whether the respondent should be awarded costs of the first applicant's unsuccessful application for leave to appeal under s 570(2)(b) of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth)." "Whether the first applicant's pursuit of the application for leave to appeal was an unreasonable act or omission causing the respondent to incur costs."]

Ratio Decidendi

Ms Oldfield did not provide evidence permitting the Court to be satisfied that One Stop Warehouse acted unreasonably within s 570(2)(b) of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth). A misconceived proceeding, or one involving a failure to abide by the decision below, did not by itself constitute unreasonableness in the circumstances, so the costs application had to be dismissed.

Court Disposition

Respondent's oral application for costs dismissed.

Orders

  • ["The respondent's oral application for costs of the first applicant's application for leave to appeal is dismissed."]
