Labour Court Database __________________________________________________________________________________ File Number: CD8786 Case Number: LCR11015 Section / Act: S67 Parties: ABBOT (I) LTD - and - NEETU |
Completion and signing of work records.
Recommendation:
Having considered the submissions placed before it, the Court is
of the opinion that the Company's requirement as to the recording
of work done under the signature of the craftsman responsible for
it, is in the circumstances entirely reasonable and does not
increase the responsibility of the claimants and therefore does
not warrant any additional payment. The Court therefore does not
recommend concession of the Union's claim.
The Court is further of the opinion that the Company placed no
obstacle in the way of much earlier reference to the Court during
the period since April, 1986, when the issue first arose. The
Court does not consider that any payment for losses incurred by
reason of the stoppage of work is warranted and does not recommend
concession of this claim.
