Facts of the Case

Background

The applicant, acting as Designated Agent for NEC Welfare and Educational Institutions, made a draft ruling finding that the NEC had jurisdiction to determine a dispute involving a former employee who was classified as non-managerial. The first respondent opposed confirmation, arguing the employee was managerial and jurisdiction lay with the Labour Court under section 46.
