BA-16-17-03/2025 (Mahkamah Tinggi)

The High Court upheld the KPTR finding that the appellant's conduct — failing to reply to the respondent's status enquiry and instructing her not to return — constituted dismissal without notice; the fixed-term contract argument did not negate the respondent's entitlement to wages in lieu, so the appeal is dismissed.

Case number

JB-16-6-04/2025 (Mahkamah Tinggi)

The High Court held that the show‑cause letter together with the respondent's admission to the misconduct (habitual late coming) constituted 'due inquiry' under section 14 of the Employment Act 1955; therefore no domestic inquiry was required and summary dismissal without notice was justified. The Labour Court's award was set aside and the appeal allowed.
