High Court allows appeal against the Circuit Court's decision to strike out an unfair dismissal claim as frivolous and vexatious, remitting the case back to the Circuit Court for a full hearing, on the grounds that the plaintiff's appeal was not frivolous or vexatious and that the delay was not attributable to the plaintiff, leading to the reinstatement of the appeal and an order for costs in favor of the plaintiff.
