    WA-16A-28-06/2023 (Mahkamah Tinggi)

    The High Court allowed the appeal because transfer was within the Company's management prerogative, the claimant's failure to report by the deadline constituted refusal and wilful disobedience amounting to misconduct thereby justifying summary dismissal without a show cause in the circumstances, and there was no evidence of mala fide or victimisation; accordingly the Industrial Court's finding that dismissal was without just cause was plainly wrong and must be set aside.
