On April 22nd, David Gorley, the 38-year-old guy serving time for stalking radio star Jackie O'Henderson, just scored a big win-in, employment court. He sent his boss at Hutchison Port's resignation email at 4.31am on September 26, 2024, but claimed he was. Deep and mental confusion from paranoid delusions. The Fair Work Commission now rules it wasn't a valid quit, calling the company's acceptance harsh and unfair. Hutchison said no, so Gorley went to the commission. First ruling last March said, no dismissal happened, but a full bench appeal in December spotted an error and sent it back for review. This all ties back to his stalking case, where courts heard he has skit-so-effective disorder with bipolar traits. Keep bombarded Henderson with messages, even deludedly claiming they had a kid together. She got scared for her friend. Even deludedly claiming they had a kid together.

In March, this week, Commissioner Damien Sloan flipped his earlier call, saying Hutchison should have checked into Gorley's condition before locking in the resignation.

But this ruling opens the door for reinstatement talks, showing how mental health can rewrite workplace endings. Stay in the know with entertainment and celebrity news. Today, AI-powered updates.
