Amendment No. 13 is not appropriate or necessary, as the issue of the address at which an employer or respondent is deemed to be ordinarily resident is dealt with comprehensively in the Bill by means of a standard provision in legislation which has stood the test of time. What Senator David Cullinane may be hoping to achieve may have more to do with distinguishing the legal entity from the company.Unfortunately, the company is a legal entity and documents have to be served on that legal entity. Therefore, the issue of the address is not really core. We cannot avoid requiring that the legal entity is correctly named in any such procedure.
