NOTICE OF APPEAL
TAKE NOTICE THAT the Appellant hereby appeals against the conviction of the attached c of the
Labour Officer, Mr. Emilton Verukai, in terms of section 93(5)(c) dated 4 April 2019.
GROUNDS OF APPEAL:
1. The Labour Officer erred on a point of law in that he did not make a finding in his draft ruling
that a dispute of right had occurred between the Appellant and Respondent necessitating
the proceedings to be dealt in accordance with section 93(5)(c) of the amended Labour Act.
This matter should have been referred to arbitration.
2. The Labour Officer erred on a point of fact and law by making a finding that Appellant had an
employment relationship with the Respondent and unfairly dismissed him.
3. The Labour officer erred on a point of law and fact by making a finding that Respondent was
unfairly dismissed. He ignored documentary evidence presented by the Appellants that
Respondent had stopped coming to work despite his commitments to the company and his
surrender of company shares.
4. The Labour Officer erred on a point of law and fact by making an incorrect finding that the
following High Court cases, HC 2613/18 and XREF:HC 2578/18 were peace order applications
by Appellant as against the Respondent. The inference being that Appellant constructively
dismissed the Respondent, which is not true.
5. The Labour officer erred at law and in fact by making an order of costs which was incorrect,
and the amounts awarded were never claimed by the Respondent.
1. The draft ruling of the Labour Officer under ref number 19/01/19 be and is hereby set aside.
