THE LAST HURRAH – THE DECISION OF NK COLLINS HOLDS FAST TO THE PAST AS LEGISLATION PUSHES US TO THE FUTURE
On 22 March 2011, President Hall of the Industrial Court of Queensland handed down his decision in N K Collins Industries Pty Ltd v Peter Vincent Twigg, a decision for which Workplace Health and Safety practitioners had waited with baited breath. President Hall had decided on the matter of N K Collins once before, been appealed from, and received the matter back for his final decision.
