Facts of the Case

Background

The respondent was employed by the appellant as a teacher from February 2010 to December 2010. A dispute arose whether the termination was unfair dismissal or resignation. After conciliation failed, the matter went to compulsory arbitration where the arbitrator upheld a preliminary point that the respondent's representative lacked locus standi.
