A s.365 (General protections) order sought by Kylie Seymour against RSL LifeCare Limited has been partially granted by Fair Work Deputy President Kovacic in Canberra on 11 May 2020. (General protections contravention involving dismissal – request to amend application to add two persons as additional respondents– application granted in part – one person to be added as a respondent.) This decision concerns an application made on 8 November 2019 by Ms Kylie Seymour (the Applicant) under s.550 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act) requesting that the Fair Work Commission (the Commission) amend her general protections application (the original application) to add two respondents, Ms Laurie Leigh and Mr Drew Pearce. The original application, made on 18 September 2019, cited RSL LifeCare Limited as the sole Respondent to Ms Seymour’s general protections application. Ms Leigh is the Respondent’s Chief Executive Officer while Mr Pearce is the Respondent’s Chief Financial Officer. Ms Leigh is now also a respondent.
