- Court
- Court of Appeal
- Case number
- CACV66/2009
The court refused leave to appeal because the contested issues (construction of termination letters and most questions on defamation quantum) were case-specific and not reasonably arguable as matters of law such that they raised questions of general or public importance under section 22(1)(b); only the question about cross-checking defamation awards against personal injury awards raised broader comment but was not determinative in this case. Costs of the plaintiffs' applications were ordered to the defendants.
- Wrongful termination
- Construction of employment contracts
