Holding

The claimant's claims are dismissed, but he is issued with his Certificate of Service.

Facts

The claimant was employed as Chief Cashier by the respondent. He was arrested and charged with theft by servant, but the case was withdrawn. He was then summarily dismissed. The claimant reported the dismissal to the Labour Officer, who found no justification for it.

Issues

  1. Fairness of the summary dismissal
  2. Compensation for wrongful dismissal
  3. Lost years of employment
  4. Work on Saturdays

Reasoning

The dismissal was lawful, and the claimant has not been able to secure new employment due to his age. The claim for lost years is dismissed, and the claim for advocates' fees is not addressed by the court.

Outcome

Appeal dismissed

Orders

  • Claimant to be issued with Certificate of Service
