Australia's Domino's Pizza considering appeal options after class action court ruling

July 23 (Reuters) - Domino's Pizza Enterprises said on Thursday it was considering an appeal after the Federal Court found the company made misleading representations about the application of certain enterprise agreements.

Here are the details: 

• A former worker commenced the proceeding as lead applicant on behalf of an alleged group of Domino's franchisee employees who worked as delivery drivers or in-store workers between June 2013 and January 2018.

• The Federal Court on Wednesday found the pizza chain's historical representations about the application of certain enterprise agreements misleading, ruling that the coverage clause in a 2005 enterprise agreement was invalid.

• The workers had alleged they should have been paid under the Fast Food Industry Award 2010 instead of under enterprise agreements that Domino's had advised applied across its corporate and franchised stores.

• The court assessed the former worker's loss at about A$11,869 ($8,326.10), plus interest, after finding that Domino's conduct caused the former worker to suffer loss through underpayment.

• Domino's said its potential wider exposure to other group members remained "highly uncertain and unquantifiable", and added it was assessing possible grounds for appeal.
