Directions were given on 15 June 2011.  The matter is listed for a two day trial to commence on 6 February 2012.
Outcome:

On 7 February 2012, FM Burnett made the orders as agreed by the parties, imposing a total penalty of $46,860 on the CFMEU, Mr Tim Jarvis and Mr Andrew Temoho for contraventions of s.38 of the Building and Construction Industry Improvement Act 2005.
Background:

On 26 November 2009 CFMEU organisers Tim Jarvis, Wayne Carter and Andrew Temoho entered the Gold Coast University Hospital project in Brisbane without giving notice of the entry under s.487 of the FW Act.

Mr Carter, Mr Jarvis and Mr Temoho proceeded to hold a mass meeting of workers at the site.  At the meeting the workers voted to stop-work until 30 November 2009.

Employees of Heinrich, BLL and some members of the CFMEU left the site and failed to perform rostered duties until 30 November 2009.

The ABCC alleges the CFMEU and Mr Jarvis, Mr Carter and Mr Temoho contravened s38 of the BCII Act and sections 417 and 500 of the FW Act.
