The recent Federal Court ruling in Lattouf v ABC [2025] FCA 669 serves as more than just a legal headline — it's a cautionary tale for Australian employers.

While most business owners and HR leaders believe they understand what counts as unlawful termination, this case highlights less obvious legal traps — such as vague directions, implied expectations, and poorly communicated policies — that can still lead to costly outcomes.

Even with a short-term contract and full payment, the ABC found itself on the wrong side of the law, ultimately ordered to pay $70,000 in non-economic damages.
