Facts of the Case

Background

The applicant was dismissed and later reinstated by court order, which required no loss of salary or benefits. While salary and contractual benefits were paid, incentives paid to other teachers during his absence were not. The applicant sought these incentives, arguing they were part of accrued benefits. The respondent contended incentives were not a condition of service and were paid by the School Development Committee, not the Ministry.
