Facts of the Case
Background
The respondents, formerly employed by the appellant as engineers and managers, were issued transfer letters in April 2012 which they challenged. Following a series of arbitral awards and a High Court order that required consultation before transfer, the appellant proceeded with disciplinary hearings and dismissed the respondents. The arbitrator found the dismissal unfair and ordered reinstatement, which the appellant appealed.
