In 1989, the Labour Court recommended that Neptune Freight Limited arrange a meeting between a driver and its managing director under the company's grievance procedure to investigate his dismissal. The recommendation was signed on 27 September 1989. The worker said he was dismissed after a dispute over a delivery route, a phone call and missing tachographs, and denied misusing diesel. The company said his employment ended during his six-month probationary period. The Court acknowledged he was on probation and said the stated reasons for dismissal appeared insubstantial on the information before it.
