In reply to the article appearing on page four entitled Termination dues unpaid (TMID, 8 July), Malta Enterprise wishes to point out that the details therein contained are not correct.

The Industrial Tribunal in its original judgement had not decided the issue of unlawful dismissal but merely recommended that the corporation sets up an internal disciplinary board which had to decide the issue strictly according to the procedures indicated in the collective agreement governing dismissal of employees within the corporation.

At this point a disciplinary board made up of members of management and independent external members decided that the dismissal was fair and just. The collective agreement envisages a right to appeal from the decision of the disciplinary board. Ms Mifsud entered an appeal which confirmed the decision of the disciplinary board.
