background
Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant employee and respondent employer deadlocked during disciplinary proceedings when equal votes were cast regarding the applicant's guilt. The employer referred the matter to a company executive who voted in favour of finding the applicant guilty, resulting in dismissal. The applicant challenged this process as unlawful since the registered code of conduct was silent on deadlock procedures.
