Labour Court dismisses request to rewrite earlier decision

The Labour Court dismissed Mr Michael Winciun’s request to change wording in an earlier decision, finding it had no jurisdiction to rewrite it. The Court’s determination was signed on 26 April 2023. Mr Winciun said he was not appealing the substance of the decision but wanted a paragraph changed. Tantek Solutions argued that the Court could not grant the request. The Court said an appeal requires it to hear the statutory claim afresh, rather than review or rewrite the first-instance decision. The underlying claim’s merits were not decided in this appeal.
