| Summary | PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE - Application for removal to Employment Court - Respondent requested removal of proceedings to Employment Court on matter of determining what constituted “work” and whether applicant paid at prescribed rate under Minimum Wage Act 1983 - Personal grievance matter would remain before Authority - Two Authority determinations issued which involved separate proceedings but were related to present case - Those determinations likely to be challenged - Found matter important and involved question of law - However, lateness of removal application and costs involved weighed against removal - Also proceedings respondent sought to have removed were continuation of employment relationship problem which had already been heard by Authority - Authority considered parties would benefit from proceeding with investigation meeting - Application for removal declined |
