The Federal Circuit Court of Australia has ruled that Terrigal Grosvenor Lodge (Erina) Pty Ltd (No. 2) did not dismiss Shane Buckley unfairly. The long running legal battle was centred on the issue of ‘general protection’. Buckley had alleged that his former employer, Terrigal Grosvenor Lodge (Erina) Pty Ltd had contravened s.340 of the FWA by taking “adverse action”. Buckley claimed to be exercising his workplace rights under the “Aged Care Complaints Scheme”, in accordance with the “Complaints Principles” created under s.94A-1 and s.96-1 of the Aged Care Act 1997.
