The Court held the Defendant validly terminated employment by payment in lieu under the contract and the Employment Ordinance; superannuation terms did not confer exclusive security of tenure requiring dismissal only for good cause; disciplinary procedures were not a precondition to dismissal; in any event the pleaded misconduct (fabrication of TMA monitoring forms, false representation about reuse of assignments and persistent poor performance) was proved and justified summary dismissal; the lost property claim failed; judgment entered for the Defendant with costs.
