Summary
-
The case concerned an appeal of finding and disciplinary decisions concerning five allegations associated with an alleged failure to comply with a workplace directive to wear a facemask. The Commission set aside the finding decision and disciplinary decision given the serious deficiencies associated with the decision-making process without expressing an opinion regarding the directions or whether the appellant properly established that he fell within a recognised exemption. Human rights were raised in the appellant’s submissions, but the Commission did not substantively discuss human rights.
