Background

This case concerned a statutory appeal of the determination by the Employment Appeals Tribunal (EAT). The original complaint had concerned the alleged unlawful deduction of 10% of the complainants' wages and their bonuses. The High Court found that aspects of the decision of the Rights Commissioner, which were the subject of the original appeal to the EAT, were not addressed in the EAT decision.

Similarly the Court did not accept the EAT's determination that a reduction of wages as distinct from a deduction is a pure question of fact. Accordingly, the Court allowed the appeal and remitted the matter back to the EAT for further determination.
