Transport Workers' Union of Australia v Qantas Airways Limited (Compensation Claim) [2024] FCA 1216
14 Despite my entreating the Union to consider adopting the course of reconstituting the remaining aspects of the dispute as a Pt IVA (of the Federal Court of Australia Act 1976 (Cth) (FCA Act)) class action with the Union as lead applicant (with the attendant procedural flexibility and statutory estoppels that such an action would bring for the benefit of both parties and the Court), for reasons never explained, the Union decided to plough on with the more cumbrous and unwieldy so-called “representative type” of procedure provided for in the FWA… With respect, I find it somewhat difficult to reconcile the forensic course taken by the Union with the statutory requirement to facilitate the case management imperatives in Pt VB of the FCA Act, which requires each party to assist in the just determination of disputes as quickly, inexpensively and efficiently as possible (and for the lawyers acting for the parties to assist the parties to comply with this duty): see ss 37M(1), 37N(1) and (2) of the FCA Act.
