Case Study
AI Summary
This case study examines whether the dismissal of Andrew by Monash University constitutes unfair dismissal under common law and the Fair Work Act 2009. It analyzes the circumstances surrounding Andrew's dismissal, including his DUI offense, refusal to attend counselling, and the university's workplace policies. The analysis applies relevant sections of the Fair Work Act 2009, including provisions related to unfair dismissal, valid reasons for dismissal, and procedural fairness. It references several Australian court cases to support the argument that Andrew's dismissal was unjust, unreasonable, and harsh, particularly given his long tenure and unblemished record. The case study concludes that Andrew has grounds for an unfair dismissal claim and recommends pursuing compensation rather than reinstatement, with a caveat regarding the presence of a clearly defined workplace policy authorizing mandatory counselling.
