This case concerned a claim by the General Secretary of the Sierra Leone Dock Workers Union that he was wrongly dismissed. Key issues included whether or not the rules of natural justice had been adhered to by the Union, namely the audi alteram partem rule (the right to be heard) and whether or not a master and servant relationship had been established between the Union and the General Secretary. Reported by Precious VK Fewry.
