- Court of Appeal
Majority held NSTL failed to comply with s66(2)(b) in relation to the initial fixed-term agreement because the employer did not adequately advise the employee of the reasons for the term ending; the consequence is that the fixed-term termination provision is ineffective and the employment is treated as of indefinite duration so that subsequent termination was a dismissal which was unjustified; reinstatement and monetary remedies were appropriate; appeal dismissed.
