The appeal is dismissed because the reporting obligation must be narrowly construed to permit reporting within the course of the same day; the respondents did not wilfully breach a reporting obligation (no practicable opportunity existed outside office hours, manager approved sales, and no evidence purchasers were diverters), so summary dismissal was unjustified and the Tribunal's award of wages in lieu and long service payments stands.
