Facts of the Case
Background
The respondent, a security guard employed since August 2009, was dismissed after being caught sleeping on duty and being found guilty at a disciplinary hearing. The labour officer ruled the dismissal unlawful because the employer failed to produce video evidence during arbitration, but the court found the video was not the sole evidence and the disciplinary committee had properly convicted the respondent.
