TASMANIAN INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION

Industrial Relations Act 1984
s70(1) appeal against decision

Timothy Roy Roland
(T12424 of 2005)

and

Hobart Workers Club Inc

 

FULL BENCH:
PRESIDENT P L LEARY
COMMISSIONER T J ABEY
COMMISSIONER J P McALPINE

HOBART, 16 February 2006

Appeal against a Consent Order issued by Deputy President P C Shelley arising out of T12211 of 2005 - Appeal dismissed

REASONS FOR DECISION

[1] Timothy Roy Roland (the applicant), filed an application pursuant to s.29(1A) of the Industrial Relations Act 1984 (the Act) alleging that his termination of employment by the Hobart Workers Club Inc. (the respondent) was unfair and that the respondent had breached the relevant award.

[2] The s.29(1A) application was listed before Deputy President Shelley and an agreement was reached between the parties in settlement of the claim. The Deputy President issued a Consent Order reflecting the settlement reached.

[3] The applicant has appealed the Consent Order claiming that the Deputy President, amongst other things, had denied him procedural fairness. The applicant was also critical of the behaviour of the respondent and inferred that the respondent had misled the Deputy President.

[4] It was explained to the applicant/appellant that there was no right of appeal against a Consent Order. There was no decision made by the Deputy President capable of appeal. The consent order represents the agreement between the applicant and the respondent in settlement of the applicant's claim. It represents no more than the terms of settlement between the parties.

[5] The order is not "...a decision of a Commissioner..." and is therefore not subject to the provisions of s.70 of the Act.

[6] Accordingly the appeal is dismissed.
