The Workplace Relations Commission adjourned a preliminary hearing into Mary Lynch’s fixed-term work complaint against St Dominic’s College after a dispute arose over versions of her employment contracts submitted by the school. The WRC will set a new hearing date.

Lynch’s representative questioned whether the documents matched the contracts she signed. The school and its principal denied any allegation of fraud, with their barrister describing differences in the documents as a clerical error. These were competing claims made during the hearing.
