From the Corner Office: new developments in workplace law

1. Mark Curran writes about the dangers of employees altering medical certificates;
2. Olga Sashko discusses two cases where not for profit organisations have been found liable for injuries sustained by carers; and
3. Laura Gallagher examines a case where a labour hire organisation was held not liable for unfair dismissal where the employee was dismissed at the request of a host employer and where the labour hire employer was fulfilling a contractual obligation to remove an employee from the workplace.

In the next few weeks we can expect the Federal Government to re-introduce legislation to reestablish the ABCC and establish a Registered Organisations Commission. The Government's success will be heavily dependent on how the Senate approaches these issues.
