The High Court refused to grant leave for judicial review to a production worker challenging the Labour Court's dismissal of his unfair dismissal and minimum notice claims. The worker's appeal was denied on the basis that he failed to establish employment by the company he claimed to have worked for. The High Court emphasised the existence of an adequate alternative remedy through a statutory appeal on a point of law and found no arguable grounds for judicial review, as the Labour Court's factual determination was neither unreasonable nor irrational. The High Court's decision affirms the Labour Court's findings and underscores the importance of correctly identifying the employer in employment disputes.
