This case study analyzes the legal dispute between Peter Blythe and David Hartree Design Associates, focusing on the claim of unfair dismissal. The case revolves around whether Blythe was unfairly dismissed or if his departure was a voluntary resignation. The analysis examines the application of the Fair Work Act 2009, including sections 385, 394, 396, and 387, as well as relevant case law such as NGO v. Link Printing Pty Ltd, Mohazab v. Dick Smith Electronics Pty Ltd, and O’Meara v. Stanley Works Pty Ltd. The applicant alleged unfair dismissal due to disagreements over workplace safety and alleged actions by the respondent, while the respondent argued for voluntary resignation and cited Blythe's conduct. The commission ultimately dismissed the application, concluding that no unfair dismissal occurred, thus the requirements of section 385 were not met.
