The Fair Work Commission is generally considered a no-costs jurisdiction but that doesn’t mean costs can never be awarded. Under the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth), the Commission has discretion to make costs orders in certain circumstances, including where a party has acted unreasonably during proceedings.

A recent matter involving Antunes Lawyers demonstrates how failing to comply with Commission directions and pursuing an application without proper basis can result in a costs order.

Our latest article looks at when the Fair Work Commission may award costs and what businesses and individuals should understand when involved in an employment-related dispute.

Businesses regularly exchange quotes, purchase orders and invoices, each containing their own standard terms and conditions. But when those terms conflict, which ones actually apply?

Known as the battle of the forms, these situations can create uncertainty over which contractual terms govern a commercial relationship. While Australian courts have developed principles to resolve these disputes, the outcome often depends on how the agreement was formed and the conduct of the parties involved.

Understanding how your terms and conditions are incorporated into your contracts can help minimise legal risk and provide greater certainty in your commercial dealings.

Beneficiaries of a trust are not always protected from personal liability. While changes to trust law have limited when liability can arise, there are still circumstances where a beneficiary may be held responsible, including where they have directed, participated in or benefited from certain actions.

This article explains when liability may arise and why understanding the legal structure of a trust matters.

Contracts can come to an end in different ways, and the legal consequences are not always the same.

Two common concepts are rescission and termination.

Rescission may treat the contract as though it never existed, while termination generally brings the contract to an end from the date of termination. Depending on the circumstances, rights and obligations may still continue after termination.

Understanding the difference is important before taking steps under a contract. Each matter turns on its own facts, and the wrong approach may affect your legal position.

If you are considering ending a contract or responding to a contract dispute, it is important to seek tailored legal advice.
