Procedural Posture

Employment and Labour Relations Review Application / Ruling on Notice of Motion for Review and Correction of Judgment

  1. 1 Whether the applicant satisfied the threshold for review under Rule 74 and the governing legal principles
  2. 2 Whether the alleged wrong computation of Non-Practicing Allowance was an error apparent on the face of the record
  3. 3 Whether the application was an improper attempt to re-litigate issues better suited for appeal

Ratio Decidendi

The applicant failed to show any clerical mistake, accidental slip, arithmetic miscalculation apparent on the face of the judgment, discovery of new evidence, or other sufficient reason. Determining the correct Non-Practicing Allowance rate required analysis of competing circulars, the claimant's grade, and binding decisions, which is an appeal issue, not a review issue.

Court Disposition

Notice of Motion dismissed with costs to the Claimant/Respondent

Orders

  • Application dated 4 November 2025 dismissed in its entirety.
