The Presiding Officer of the Labour Tribunal misdirected himself by treating the dispute as one of incompetence rather than alleged misconduct/infidelity; given the informal procedure, lack of oral testimony from key witnesses and the volume of documents making discovery desirable, the case was unsuitable for determination in the Labour Tribunal by that Presiding Officer and should be remitted for rehearing before another Presiding Officer with consideration of transfer to a court of competent jurisdiction.
