Facts of the Case

Background

The appellant, an accounts clerk at the Deeds Registry, was dismissed for under-receipting stamp duty payments. After an initial disciplinary hearing was set aside for lack of proper record, a de novo hearing found him guilty on three charges. He appealed to the Labour Court which had to proceed with an incomplete record of proceedings.
