This is a short procedural decision where the Western Australian Industrial Relations Commission dismissed an employment-related application because the applicant, Darren Bell, failed to turn up to a scheduled court hearing. He had been warned that if he didn't attend, his case would be thrown out. The Commissioner dismissed the application 'for want of prosecution'—a legal term meaning the case was dropped because the person who started it didn't pursue it.
