Facts of the Case

A watchman employee appealed against a Designated Agent's award that granted reinstatement but did not award damages at the USD$258 rate claimed. The employer cross-appealed arguing the reinstatement order was irregular as it was not pleaded or argued, and claimed offset of a USD450 loan.
