- Court of Appeal
The Court of Appeal held Chief Judge Colgan did not err in ordering a rehearing; the Employment Court's power to rehear is broad, the standard for rehearing encompasses a substantial possibility or real risk of miscarriage of justice, the Nurses Organisation's s179 challenge raised a distinct and broadly significant question which Judge Ford failed to decide, and the Employment Court also has a power of recall in appropriate cases.
