Facts of the Case
Background
An arbitrator awarded a 20% wage increase to A1 engineering employees for the period March 2011 to February 2012. The appellant appealed to the Labour Court, but the respondent raised a preliminary objection that the Court lacked jurisdiction because the arbitration was voluntary under the Arbitration Act rather than compulsory under the Labour Act.
