Decision:
The Court notes that there are currently discussions ongoing between Management and Mandate clarifying the holiday entitlement of both full and part-time staff employed in the company. As the case before the Court has implications for a large number of staff the Court decides that the parties should address the matters at issue in the context of those discussions. Should those discussions fail to resolve the matter before August 2016 the Court will reconvene and hear and decide the appeal solely in the context of this case.
