The claimant was properly found to be a 'workman' under the Industrial Relations Act and therefore subject to the Minimum Retirement Age Act 2012 which mandates retirement at 60; statutory retirement cannot be waived by conduct, reinstatement was impossible as the claimant was over 60 when the Award was delivered, and therefore no compensation in lieu of reinstatement was awardable; appeal dismissed and Industrial Court decision affirmed.
