Decision Date |
Nov 30, 1993 |
Hearing Date |
Nov 30, 1993 |
Decision |
The Supreme Court granted leave to appeal to determine if the Service Tribunal correctly ruled that the appeal was time-barred. The court found that the appellant's appeal against a departmental decision regarding seniority was filed within the permissible timeframe after the appellate order, thus it could not be dismissed as time-barred. The case was remanded to the Service Tribunal for further decision on issues other than limitation. |
