| Decision |
The appeal was allowed in part, reinstating the appellant to his prior rank but denying back benefits due to his involvement in misconduct. The Tribunal found that the employer failed to conduct a proper departmental inquiry, rendering the dismissal improper. However, the appellant's actions led to the conclusion that he was not entitled to back benefits despite the restoration of his seniority. The decision emphasized the importance of following procedural requirements in labor disputes and highlighted the need for fair hearings. |
