Background
The appellant appealed against a National hearing committee decision that found disciplinary proceedings against the respondent for sexual harassment allegations to be irregular and null and void. The proceedings were marred by the appellant's failure to notify the respondent's legal representative of hearing dates and proceeding despite medical evidence of the respondent's illness.
