AI summary
The Labour Appeal Court dealt with an appeal about compensation following a precautionary suspension that was found to be an unfair labour practice. It found that the arbitrator and the court a quo had erred in refusing compensation, and substituted an award of one month’s salary. The appeal was upheld and costs were awarded against the third respondent.
This appears to concern unfair labour practice compensation under the Labour Relations Act and the exercise of discretion in awarding compensation.
Evidence from source
the Court a quo erred, in my view, in failing to appreciate that the arbitrator did not apply his mind to what constitutes a just and equitable compensation in the circumstances.
Supports: Plain summary: the court found error in refusing compensation.
