In Brief
In this industrial dispute appeal, the Supreme Court reviewed a Labour Court award of reinstatement for employees of the TWAD Board. Since all respondents had attained superannuation age by the time of appeal, the Court found reinstatement impractical and substituted compensation in lieu thereof. The award included 50% back wages and full compensation for all claims. Given the case's peculiar facts, the Court directed payment to legal representatives where applicable and cautioned that the decision should not be cited as precedent in other matters.
