Inside IR (Australian Industrial Relations) EP25: Clear and unambiguous enterprise agreements – A pipe dream, or a necessity? 45:11

7 days ago45:11

45:11

Given the recent commencement of criminal wage thefts laws, increase in the maximum civil penalties that can be awarded for wage non-compliance, and focus of the Fair Work Ombudsman on prosecuting wage non-compliance, it is more important than ever to get wage compliance right. But there is a feature of our industrial relations system that can sometimes make achieving compliance a rather difficult exercise…. We are of course talking about long, complex and ambiguous enterprise agreements. Many employers are saddled with enterprise agreements that are, at best, confusing, and at worst, internally inconsistent. They are a product of decades of enterprise bargaining – where words that were crafted 30 or so years ago have either been left as they were and considered too difficult to modernise, or been added to over time resulting in an unwieldly hodgepodge of obligations, entitlements, exceptions, and conditions. The cost and risk to business of managing compliance with these types of instruments is significant yet attempts to modernise terms during enterprise bargaining processes are often met with resistance. In our latest episode of our market-leading industrial relations podcast Inside IR, Partner Rohan Doyle and Senior Associate Mitchell Brennan grapple with this problem and explore potential solutions. Rohan and Mitchell: provide a refresher on the potential consequences of long, complex, and ambiguous enterprise agreements, including in light of recent IR reform; reflect on the reasons as to why some enterprise agreements have become a source of a significant non-compliance risk, and compliance cost, for some employers; and explore various paths that employers can take – both inside and outside of bargaining – to achieve clearer terms and conditions that are easier and more cost effective to comply with.…

Banking Litigation Podcast EP51: Quincecare Special – March 2025 37:47

In this SPECIAL EDITION of our banking litigation podcast, we consider a key risk area for financial institutions handling client payments – the so-called Quincecare duty of care. This episode is hosted by John Corrie, who is joined by Ceri Morgan and special guests Jenny Stainsby and Scott Warin.The English courts continue to grapple with payment processing claims brought by both victims of authorised push payment (APP) fraud and companies subject to an internal fraud by an authorised signatory who has gone rogue. While the seminal Supreme Court decision in Philipp v Barclays [2023] UKSC 25 recalibrated the payment processing duties owed by banks, court guidance is still needed on what is required to meet the requisite standard on a case-by-case basis, and claimants continue to explore novel causes of action. Alongside numerous civil claims working their way through the courts, the Payment Systems Regulator has introduced the UK's APP fraud reimbursement scheme. In our latest podcast, we explain the current state of payment processing claims in a post-Philipp v Barclays world, offering insights into this rapidly changing area of law.You can find links to our blog posts on the cases covered in this podcast below:•Payment processing risks in a post-Philipp v Barclays world https://www.herbertsmithfreehills.com/notes/bankinglitigation/2024-posts/civil-litigation-payment-processing-risks-in-a-post-philipp-v-barclays-world•Facing into the UK's APP Fraud Reimbursement Requirement https://www.herbertsmithfreehills.com/notes/fsrandcorpcrime/2024-posts/facing-into-the-UK-s-app-fraud-reimbursement-requirement•The Supreme Court's judgment in Philipp v Barclays: key takeaways for financial institutions executing customer payments https://www.herbertsmithfreehills.com/notes/bankinglitigation/2023-07/the-supreme-courts-judgment-in-philipp-v-barclays-key-takeaways-for-financial-institutions-executing-customer-payments•High Court dismisses Quincecare duty claim giving guidance on the scope and nature of the duty https://www.herbertsmithfreehills.com/notes/bankinglitigation/2022-06/high-court-dismisses-quincecare-duty-claim-giving-guidance-on-the-scope-and-nature-of-the-duty•Supreme Court upholds first successful claim for breach of the so-called "Quincecare" duty of care https://www.herbertsmithfreehills.com/notes/bankinglitigation/2019-10/supreme-court-upholds-first-successful-claim-for-breach-of-the-so-called-quincecare-duty-of-care•Court of Appeal judgment on scope and exclusion of 'Quincecare' duty of care https://www.herbertsmithfreehills.com/notes/bankinglitigation/2019-10/court-of-appeal-judgment-on-scope-and-exclusion-of-quincecare-duty-of-care•Latest APP fraud claim against receiving PSP: High Court refuses to strike out claim for unjust enrichment https://www.herbertsmithfreehills.com/notes/bankinglitigation/2024-posts/Latest-APP-fraud-claim-against-receiving-PSP--High-Court-refuses-to-strike-out-claim-for-unjust-enrichment•High Court considers novel APP fraud "retrieval duty" claim against both sending and receiving PSPs https://www.herbertsmithfreehills.com/notes/bankinglitigation/2024-03/high-court-considers-novel-app-fraud-retrieval-duty-claim-against-both-sending-and-receiving-pspsPlease subscribe to the podcast channel here http://hsffinancialservicesdisputes.buzzsprout.com/ to listen to our regular bite-sized broadcasts covering both litigation and regulatory developments for banks and other financial institutions.…
