QLD F8A employer response - General Protection

[Poidah]

What is the legal standing or admissibility of the employer's F8A formal response for Federal court?
The employer representative has now blatantly contradicted their F8A written response in conciliation (I know conciliation material is not admissible), but now I am worried that their Federal court defence will be totally different from their Fair Work material. I just realised that the F8A form was signed by the employer's industry representative instead of the employer or the person in the F8A. I know this FWC process is somewhat informal, but I would like to improve the odds and get a firmer understanding.

Submit it as an exhibit to an affidavit or refer to it in your pleadings.

From my understanding of the process which is basic the 8A response is attached with your initial application and certificate. I am sure the court would take it into consideration in determining the case but at at the end of the day there if there is an actual breach or not is really at question, prepare for and response. Not a lawyer, just going through the steps myself.
