Respondent

Procedural Posture

Labour Tribunal Appeal / Application for Leave to Appeal (high Court)

  1. 1 Whether speculative conversations among witnesses outside court amounted to collusion amounting to legal error
  2. 2 Whether the Labour Tribunal failed to provide adequate reasons such that an appeal on a point of law lies
  3. 3 Whether re‑employment of a witness after giving evidence amounted to inducement or improper conduct affecting fairness

Ratio Decidendi

Leave to appeal was refused because the applicant failed to identify any error of law: allegations of witness collusion were speculative and unsupported, the Tribunal had provided reasons (oral and written), re‑employment after testimony did not demonstrate inducement, and absent new evidence the Tribunal's factual credibility determinations do not give rise to a pure question of law.
