GENERAL PROTECTIONS – multiple actions – ss.365, 725 Fair Work Act 2009 – application to deal with contraventions involving dismissal – applicant alleged that respondents had contravened ss.362 and 550 of FW Act in relation to the termination of her employment on 21 January 2016 by Arthur J. Gallagher Australia & Co (Aus) P/L (AJG) – AJG in its response raised a jurisdictional objection, contending that the applicant had also made a complaint to the Australian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) in relation to her dismissal – applicant contended that her general protections application was not made in relation to her dismissal – she further contended that her application was not brought against her former employer, AJG, but against two individuals, neither of whom employed her – whether applicant made her general protections application after making her AHRC complaint, and whether her general protections application was made in relation to her dismissal – Birch considered – Commission found general protections application was made after the AHRC complaint had been made, and was made in relation to her dismissal – s.725 of FW Act operated as a bar to the general protections application because her AHRC complaint was a complaint made another law in relation to her dismissal which had not been withdrawn nor failed for want of jurisdiction – application dismissed.
