Facts of the Case
Background
The respondent was employed as a Commis Cook and was dismissed in December 2008 for alleged theft of cooking oil. He appealed internally but when the appeal was not determined within reasonable time, he referred the matter to a Labour Officer who found the dismissal unfair. The appellant appealed this arbitral award on jurisdictional grounds.
