Jarden executives' dispute returns to Employment Court

Jarden's legal dispute with former executives Dan Reynolds and Silvana Schenone has been sent back to the Employment Court, following a ruling that the Employment Relations Authority lacks jurisdiction to hear the case. The dispute stems from Australian firm Barrenjoey's raid on Jarden's staff, which saw over a dozen employees depart. Reynolds and Schenone resigned in late July and were placed on garden leave, with notice periods ending January 26, 2027, and October 26, 2026, respectively. Jarden alleges the executives factory reset their work phones on August 5, destroying evidence, and has sought access to data clones held by their solicitors to investigate potential confidential information leaks and improper client solicitation.
