Facts of the Case

Background

The appellant was employed as an Engineering Manager and was dismissed for habitual and substantial neglect of duties following a disciplinary hearing. He appealed internally, and when that appeal was dismissed, he filed a direct appeal to the Labour Court. The respondent raised two points in limine: incorrect citation of the respondent entity and premature filing of the appeal under the amended Labour Act.
