Facts of the Case
Background
The appellant, employed as a Loss Control Officer, was dismissed following disciplinary proceedings. His appeal filed on 31 March 2022 was only determined in January 2025, over 33 months later, violating the 14-working-day requirement in the Code of Conduct. The disciplinary proceedings were also flawed as investigations were conducted by a non-management employee contrary to the Code.
