Facts of the Case

Background

The Appellant was dismissed for allegedly taking company property. He appealed through internal NECCS structures, which upheld the dismissal. He then appealed to the Labour Court, arguing that the disciplinary hearing was a nullity because the Designated Officer was not an employee of the Respondent as required by the Code of Conduct.
