Facts of the Case
Background
The appellant, a conductor employed by the respondent, was suspended on 5 December 2010 after four passengers were found with resold tickets on his bus. He was notified of the disciplinary hearing on the same day it was held (24 March 2011), found guilty of reselling tickets, and dismissed. The appeal challenges multiple procedural irregularities including unlawful suspension exceeding 14 days and inadequate hearing notification.
