Facts of the Case
Background
The second respondent was dismissed for misconduct by the first respondent. She claimed a minimum retrenchment package under section 12C(2) of the Labour Act. The applicant arbitrator ruled in her favour, awarding $491-74. The first respondent opposed confirmation, arguing that misconduct dismissals do not attract retrenchment packages.
