  • In July 2026, Domino's Pizza Enterprises Limited acknowledged a Federal Court of Australia judgment in the long‑running Gall class action, which found its historical representations about enterprise agreement coverage for franchise employees were misleading and deceptive and assessed the lead applicant’s loss at A$11,869.33 plus interest.
