Pizza chain Domino's has confirmed that it will appeal a judge's finding that it misled franchisees on the pay its workers were entitled to, leaving them shortchanged.

A judge has rejected Domino's bid for a 30 per cent reduction in the costs it owes after losing an underpayments class action, saying the pizza chain will likely be on the hook for around $10 million in costs.

After waiting three-and-a-half years for judgment and winning on “close to everything”, a class action against Domino’s over staff wages is "very likely" to face an appeal, with retiring Justice Bernard Murphy vowing to make final orders and not hand the "mess" over to another judge.
