Facts of the Case

Background

The appellant employer appealed against an arbitral award made in favour of the respondent employee. Upon reviewing the record, the court discovered that the matter had been incorrectly processed as a dispute of interest when it was actually a dispute of right that should have been handled by a labour officer under section 16 of the Labour Amendment Act No 5 of 2015.
