Unfair dismissal application - minimum employment period not met - application dismissed

• [1] At a determinative conference earlier today, I dismissed an application made by Narena Meredith for an unfair dismissal application under s 394 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Act) after determining, for reasons given on transcript, that she had not served the minimum employment period of 6 months (see s 384). She was therefore not a person protected from unfair dismissal (see s 382). It was unnecessary to determine the respondent's further objection that Ms Meredith was never its employee, an argument which appeared to have considerable force.
