After court

If you started a case in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia the case will end when:

  • you reach an agreement with your employer
  • you discontinue (end) the case, or 
  • the Court makes a decision after a hearing.

After your case has ended, you should consider the following:

    Enforcing agreements

    If you settled the case with your employer, they may have agreed to pay you some or all of what you were entitled to. If your employer does not do what they agreed, it is possible to enforce the agreement.

    For more information, see Enforcing an agreement.

    Enforcing orders

    If your employer doesn't follow an order made by the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia, it is possible to have it enforced.

    For more information, see Enforcing a judgment.

    Appeals

    If you are unhappy with the decision made by the Court, you may be able to appeal to the Federal Court of Australia within 28 days.

    You may be able to appeal if you think the Court made a mistake about the law (called an 'error of law'), but not about what happened (called an 'error of fact'). You can't appeal just because you disagree with the decision.

    Alert iconAppealing a decision can be complicated. If you lose, the Court may order you to pay the other side's legal costs in the appeal case. Before you appeal, you should get legal advice.

    Alert iconIf you are outside the time to appeal, you should get legal advice before appealing. If you brought your case in a different court, there may be a different time limit to appeal the decision.

     For more information, see Appealing the decision of the Court.
