Class Action Against Domino's Prevails in Long-Awaited Ruling
The court found the company directed franchisees to use outdated pay deals that left drivers and in-store staff without key entitlements.
- On Wednesday, July 22, 2026, the Federal Court found Domino's Pizza Enterprises Ltd engaged in misleading conduct by directing franchisees to underpay thousands of drivers and in-store staff under outdated employment agreements over five years.
- Lawyer Phi Finney McDonald launched the class action in 2019 on behalf of former delivery driver Riley Gall, alleging Domino's instructed franchisees to use enterprise agreements that excluded key entitlements covered under the Fast Food Industry Award.
- Justice Murphy ruled the conduct "objectively wrong" and a breach of Australian Consumer Law; the court assessed lead applicant Gall's loss at $11,869.33 plus interest, though broader liability for other group members remains unquantifiable.
- A Domino's spokesperson told AAP the company is reviewing the 560-page judgment to assess its position, including potential grounds for appeal, while the court directed parties to draft proposed orders within seven days.
- Future hearings or mediation will determine compensation for other group members, as the court's finding currently applies only to lead applicant Gall; Domino's shares declined 12% over the past 12 months, trailing the S&P/ASX 200 Index.
