James Foreman Ryan and Furneys Stockfeeds Limited [1995] IRCA 343

IN THE INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS COURT ) OF AUSTRALIA ) ) No. NI 1120 of 1994 NEW SOUTH WALES DISTRICT REGISTRY ) ) BETWEEN: JAMES FOREMAN RYAN Applicant AND: FURNEYS STOCKFEEDS LIMITED Respondent CORAM: BEAZLEY J PLACE: SYDNEY DATE: 2 August 1995 FURTHER REASONS FOR JUDGMENT BEAZLEY J: In this matter I delivered reasons for my decision in which I considered it appropriate to allow a period of 7 days from today's date to file any application for review. Mr Mellos appears on behalf of the respondent and asks that a further period of 5 days be allowed to file any such application. His reason for seeking the further time is that notwithstanding that the Judicial Registrar published his reasons for judgment on 14 June 1995, the solicitor with the carriage of the matter within his firm did not receive a copy of those reasons until just after the middle of July and, further, no steps had been taken to give any consideration as to whether advice would be given to the client to seek a review of the decision until such time as the court determined whether it would or would not extend the time in which to do so. It seems to me that because of the reasons which I gave whereby I considered it was appropriate to extend the time, it is appropriate to extend the time regardless, and that the time in which that ought to be allowed to be done is not in itself the definitive matter. I had considered that 7 days was an appropriate time, given the fact that the Judicial Registrar's decision has now been available for quite some period, however, having regard to the matters which were put to me by Mr Mellos this morning I am prepared to accede to his application that a further 5 days be allowed. Accordingly, I propose to amend the order which I made so as to change the date from 9 August 1995 to 14 August 1995. I certify that this and the preceding 1 page is a true copy of the Reasons for Judgment of the Honourable Justice Beazley. Associate: Dated: 2 August 1995
