Brumby v Q-COMP [2005] ICQ 57 (2005) 180 QGIG 1133

[Extract from Queensland Government Industrial Gazette, dated 16 December, 2005, Vol. 20, No. 18, page 1133] INDUSTRIAL COURT OF QUEENSLAND Workers’ Compensation and Rehabilitation Act 2003 – appeal against decision of industrial magistrate Kerrie Ellen Brumby AND Q-COMP (C/2005/78) PRESIDENT HALL 2 December 2005 REPORT ON DECISION (as edited) In giving his decision from the Bench on 22 November 2005, the President stated: “It is clear that this proposed appeal was filed out of time. There is a perfectly adequate excuse. It relates to the failure of the Industrial Magistrate to give proper reasons within time. The period of delay was very brief. Q-Comp does not oppose the extension of time. In my view it would be consistent with the objects of the Act to extend time and I do. Time is extended until 5 October 2005.”. In those circumstances I adjourn the Court. Dated 2 December 2005. By the Court, [L.S.] G.D. SAVILL, Industrial Registrar. Released: 2 December 2005 Appearances: Ms K. Russell, of Keith Scott and Associates, for the Appellant. Ms A. Coulin, of Q-COMP, for the Respondent. Government Printer, Queensland The State of Queensland 2005. -- 1 of 1 --
