Bernard John Boot
(T10678 of 2003)

and

Connorville Station Pty Ltd

Industrial dispute - alleged unfair termination of employment and severance pay in respect to termination of employment as a result of redundancy - severance payment confirmed - inadequate notice - parties directed to confer with recourse to the Commission if necessary

REASONS FOR FURTHER DECISION

(1) In my decision of 23 June 2003 I made a finding that the notice given to the applicant was "quite inadequate".

(2) Consistent with the request made during the hearing the parties were directed to confer with recourse to the Commission if necessary.

(3) Correspondence dated 25 June 2003 reads in part:

"The parties advise that the issue regarding a further payment to Mr Boot by Connorville Station Pty Ltd in relation to notice of redundancy has been resolved by agreement between the parties. Therefore this matter has settled."

(4) Accordingly, pursuant to s 21[2][c] of the Act, I refrain from further hearing the application and the file is closed.
