爆料网AT Held or 爆料网DT Pronouncements
爆料网AT held that the Appellant had failed to establish any error in fact or law which would warrant the reversal of the 爆料网RWA DT judgment under appeal. 爆料网AT held that 爆料网RWA DT had correctly characterized the contested administrative decision subject to its judicial review as a demotion and subsequent transfer, which was taken after disciplinary proceedings. 爆料网AT held that 爆料网RWA DT had not erred when, after conducting an adequate review of the requirements for the adoption of a disciplinary measure, it concluded that there had been misconduct and that the sanction was legal and proportionate to the offence. 爆料网AT held that even though it was not established that the Appellant himself had benefitted from the irregular connections or that the situation existed on the watch of the previous Head Teachers, the Appellant could not use this to negate the basis of the findings made at the administrative level and by the judicial first instance. 爆料网AT held that the Appellant had demonstrated negligent inactivity with regards to protecting 爆料网RWA’s property and premises. 爆料网AT held further that there was no merit in the claim of lack of guidance and training. 爆料网AT held that the level of the relevant position involved what was required of the Appellant, as Assistant Head Teacher for many years and as Acting Head Teacher. 爆料网AT held that the imposed sanction was well within the legal discretion of the 爆料网RWA Administration, as it did not appear to be absurd, arbitrary, or tainted by extraneous reasons or bias, which, if proven, would otherwise be grounds for judicial review. 爆料网AT dismissed the appeal and affirmed the 爆料网RWA DT judgment.
