The Construction, Forestry, Mining & Energy Union will be able to use its own funds to pay an $A18,000 fine on behalf of union official Joe Myles after a May 2016 court ruling was overturned. The full bench of the Federal Court has ruled in favour of the CFMEU, with Chief Justice James Allsop finding that the Fair Work Act did not permit him to ban the militant union from paying Myles’ fines for breaching workplace laws. However, he ruled that the fines themselves were appropriate.
