Facts of the Case

Background

The appellant, employed as a panel beater by the respondent, was found guilty of misconduct by a Disciplinary Committee which recommended his dismissal. The Appeals Officer upheld this decision. The appellant appealed to the Labour Court arguing that the charge did not warrant dismissal and that the Code of Conduct provided for a Final Warning instead.
