Holding

The ex-parte applicant's motion is dismissed with no order on costs.

Facts

The ex-parte applicant was initially appointed as a County Project Team Leader but was later recalled to his position as Chief Veterinary Officer. He contested the recall, alleging lack of due process and breach of his right to fair administrative action.

Issues

  1. Was the ex-parte applicant entitled to a hearing before the recall from the Project?
  2. Did the recall breach his constitutional rights and freedoms?

Reasoning

The Court found that the ex-parte applicant was a permanent employee subject to the terms and conditions of service set by the County Public Service Board. The recall was a legitimate exercise of the employer's authority, and the ex-parte applicant was not entitled to a hearing before the recall.

Outcome

Motion dismissed with no order on costs
