Question: For a decade, Jason has been employed as the head chef at a fast - food restaurant named Quick Bites ( QB ) in Brisbane.

For a decade, Jason has been employed as the head chef at a fast-food restaurant named Quick Bites (QB) in Brisbane. Enjoying his role, he has developed a close friendship with Bob (the restaurant's owner). However, due to circumstances beyond their control, the kitchen area has not been properly cleaned by the janitorial staff, leading to a buildup of grime and bacteria over time. After contracting a severe illness from his workplace and spending three months in the hospital, Jason suffers from critical organ failure and requires expensive surgery. He files a claim for damages against QB, in the amount of $187,000.
In addition to his work related issues, Jasons personal life is also troubled as he and his wife, Mary, are struggling with their finances. They decide to separate on good terms and file for a divorce.
Please answer the following:
Which court will hear Jasons claim against QB? If Jason decides to appeal the decision, which court(s) would hear the appeal? Is there a way that Jason could resolve the dispute, without going to court (provide reasons why he may wish to do this)? Finally, which court will likely hear the divorce proceedings (explain why)?
