536LR When the FWC may order remedy for unfair termination
(1) Subject to subsection (3), the FWC may order that a new contract be entered into, or the payment of compensation to a person, if:

(b) the person has been unfairly terminated (see Division 3).
(2) The FWC may make the order only if the person has made an application under section 536LU.
(3) The FWC must not order the payment of compensation to the person unless:
(a) the FWC is satisfied that entering into a new services contract would be inappropriate; and
(b) the FWC considers an order for payment of compensation is appropriate in all the circumstances of the case.
Note: Division 5 deals with procedural matters such as applications for remedies.
