Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant hotel sought leave to appeal against a Labour Court judgment that upheld an arbitrator's decision. The case involved a trainee manager whose dismissal was found to be procedurally unfair. The applicant argued the court erred in finding its grounds of appeal were factual rather than legal, and that the court ruled on merits despite the matter being about procedural fairness.
