High Court dismisses a teacher's counterclaim and upholds the school management board's decision to place him on paid administrative leave, declaring the suspension lawful and restraining him from trespassing on school premises. The teacher's counterclaim, which included allegations of constitutional rights violations, was dismissed due to his failure to advance it in court. The teacher's subsequent application to set aside the judgment was also dismissed, with the court emphasising the importance of finality in litigation and the absence of truly exceptional circumstances to warrant such a review.
Teacher suspension - administrative leave - constitutional rights - breach of constitutional rights - counterclaim dismissal - trespass injunction - lawful suspension - High Court jurisdiction - inherent jurisdiction - finality of litigation - contempt of court - imprisonment for contempt - application to set aside judgment - exceptional circumstances - obedience to court orders.
