Ther Tribunal, therefore, can only conclude that the Applicant is no longer interested in the pursuit and outcome of these legal proceedings, which must therefore be deemed to have been abandoned, and this matter therefore stands to be dismissed for want of prosecution.
Imposition of the disciplinary measure of separation from service, with compensation in lieu of notice without termination indemnity.
A principle of procedural law provides that the right to institute and pursue legal proceedings is predicated upon the condition that the person exercising this right has a legitimate interest in initiating and maintaining legal action and that access to the Dispute Tribunal has to be denied to those who are no longer in need of judicial remedy, or no longer interested in the proceedings.
