The High Court held the Industrial Court acted within its statutory power under s.29 to proceed where notice had been served and the applicant and its counsel failed to cooperate or attend; the applicant was represented by a law firm and the failure lay with the applicant/counsel, not the tribunal; the applicant therefore failed to discharge the burden of proof that the dismissal was for a fair reason and judicial review was not meritorious.
