Facts of the Case
Background
The applicants were retrenched on 28 July 2021 by Martindale Catholic Primary School, which they claimed was not their legal employer. They challenged the retrenchment process, arguing that Little Children of Our Blessed Lady Sisters was the registered entity that should have conducted the retrenchment. The designated agent found that the applicants had waived their rights by not returning the retrenchment packages deposited into their bank accounts.
