Don't let your managers or HR personnel be the incompetent ones!
In Vong v Sika, Lloyd-Jones FM stated, in relation to issues with procedural fairness: "This Court unfortunately sees too many instances similar to the matters in this case [that] are inappropriately and incompetently approached by persons who parade under the banner of Human Resources specialists."Lloyd-Jones confirmed the findings of Wilcox J in FSU v ANZ, in relation to inexperienced managers involved in the disciplinary process, saying that "...[although] the person acting on behalf of the bank may not have known that they were breaching the act, they should have known".
