Holding

The Court finds that the redundancy was not unfair and thus the Appellants are not entitled to compensatory damages.

Facts

The Respondent decided to lease out its cafeteria, leading to the Appellants' dismissal. The Appellants claim they were not informed about the decision and their terminal benefits.

Issues

  1. Whether the Appellants are entitled to compensatory damages
  2. Whether the Appellants are entitled to house allowance

Reasoning

The Respondent did not comply with the notification requirements under the Employment Act, but the Court finds that this alone does not make the redundancy unfair.

Outcome

Affirmed
