TOPIC NUMBER 11 – Unfair dismissal; remedy; conmpensatory award

Held: refusing the appeal,
(1) Whilst criticisms might be made of certain aspects of the Judge’s management of the hearing, there was no basis for a conclusion of apparent bias.
(2) All of the Appellant’s criticisms of the Judge’s approach to assessment of loss were simply attempts to re-argue fact.
