NSW Discovery in Fair Work claims

[Taco Cat]

If an employee reasonably believes adverse action was taken for a proscribed reason but isn’t sure, can a Federal Circuit Court injunction be requested for the discovery of documents before commencing a general protections claim in the court or can it only be done after commencing the claim?

It can be done before. It is called preliminary discovery. Will need to seek approval before it is granted.

Though it looks like you are past this step now.

Thanks Rod. Much appreciated.
