Facts of the Case

Background

The respondent, a truck driver, was dismissed following a disciplinary hearing where he was found guilty of misconduct related to a physical altercation and alleged fuel theft. The Labour Court found procedural irregularities, including the chairman acting as both complainant and adjudicator and the absence of workers' committee representatives, and ordered a remittal for a fresh hearing. The employer appealed to the Supreme Court.
