Facts of the Case
Background
The appellant, an invoicing clerk, was dismissed for extortion-proved dishonesty after using another employee's profile to generate a fraudulent invoice for a non-trading company, causing the employer to lose goods worth $4,600. The disciplinary and appeals committees both upheld the dismissal, but the appeals committee was composed of the same members as the disciplinary committee.
