Labour Court sets aside decision after Juanito Magpusao misses hearing

The Labour Court allowed Noonan Services Group Limited’s appeal and set aside the adjudication officer’s decision in a ruling dated 16 February 2024. Juanito Magpusao did not attend the hearing, and the Court said the merits were not decided. The case concerned whether transfer-of-undertakings rules preserved Magpusao’s entitlement to pay increases linked to Employment Regulation Orders. The employer argued that an earlier increase did not create an ongoing contractual right to future increases.
