Facts of the Case

Background

The appellant, a truck driver, was dismissed for gross negligence after a disciplinary committee reached a deadlock on penalty, which was then referred to the Director for determination. The appellant challenged the review decision, arguing that the applicable Code of Conduct did not permit referral to the Director and that the court a quo erred in relying on a later statutory instrument.
