ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Bradley’s experience includes:

• Successfully defended his clients in numerous matters before the Worker Compensation Commission, including: Department of Education & Training ats Jascinta Field [WCC 16370 – 2003] – s11A defence of claim for psychiatric injury, Byrnes v Bellbond Security Pty Ltd [2006] NSWWCCMA 056 – involving a fraudulent claim by a worker and Helmore v Ulladulla Fishermans’ Cooperative Society Ltd [2013] NSWWCC 383 – s9A defence for assault in the course of employment.
• Acting on behalf of one of Australia’s ‘Big 4’ banks in a matter initiated by a worker, involving several spurious allegations his managers which he alleged resulted in a psychological injury. The denial of liability contributed to savings on the claim estimated to exceed $200,000.
