Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant was terminated on notice by the 1st respondent. He initially claimed unfair dismissal, which failed as it was a no-fault termination. He then claimed unlawful termination, alleging non-compliance with Section 12(4a). The Labour Officer dismissed this claim, finding it res judicata. The applicant challenged this decision on review.
