Holding
The termination was substantively and procedurally unfair, and the Claimant is entitled to compensation.
Facts
The Claimant was employed as a Front Office Porter at Bliss Resort. He was wrongfully accused of theft, arrested, and detained. He was later terminated without a fair hearing.
Issues

- Whether the Claimant is entitled to the remedies sought
Reasoning
The Respondent first dismissed the Claimant without affording him an opportunity to be heard, which is procedurally unfair. The charges were not tested at the shop floor and were therefore not proved.
Outcome

Orders
- The Claimant will have the costs of the case
- The amount will attract interest at court rates from the date of judgment until payment in full
Remedies
- Three (3) months' salary in compensation for unfair termination
