The Court held that Cato, Johnson and Poyer (the employees), were wrongfully dismissed and entitled to the damages that they claimed. The employees were also given their legal costs.<\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\">Sandy Lane Hotel (the company) had employed the employees for periods between six and eleven years, when they were each dismissed in January 2012 with one week\u2019s payment in lieu of notice. The reason for each dismissal was alleged to be poor performance in relation to their treatment respectively of a particular hotel guest. The employees brought wrongful dismissal actions claiming damages under the Severance Payments Act (the Act). The company\u2019s defence was that the employees had been lawfully dismissed.<\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\">The magistrate and the Court of Appeal of Barbados (CoA) both held that the employees had been wrongfully dismissed and were entitled to damages under the Act. The magistrate\u2019s decision was based on the finding that the collective agreement executed by the Barbados Workers Union and the Barbados Employers Confederation for the Barbados Hotel and Tourism Association was incorporated into the employees\u2019 contracts, and the dismissals were in breach of that collective agreement. The CoA, on the other hand, concluded that the company was required to follow the disciplinary process set out in the employees\u2019 terms and conditions of service. Those terms were contained in a separate document but incorporated into the respective contracts of each employee. The CoA decided that the Company\u2019s failure to follow those processes in dismissing the employees rendered the dismissals unlawful. The company appealed to the CCJ.<\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\">The CCJ found that the provision in the employees\u2019 contracts for dismissal with one week\u2019s payment in lieu of notice conflicted with other contractual provisions requiring a specified disciplinary process to be followed in cases of alleged poor performance. Dismissal with a week\u2019s payment in lieu of notice also conflicted with the further contractual provisions for employees to \u2018be given every opportunity through counselling, training and re-training before being terminated for poor performance\u2019. The CCJ held that these conflicts must be resolved against the Company as it was the Company that had drawn up the employees\u2019 contracts and the Company was in the dominant position. The CCJ noted that these employees were unable to bring an action for unfair dismissal, as is now provided in Barbados by the Employment Rights Act of 2012 that was passed months after they were dismissed.<\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\">The CCJ held that since the real reason for the employees\u2019 dismissal was alleged poor performance, the company could not simply dismiss the employees without following those provisions in their terms and conditions that specifically addressed how poor performance should be treated. By acting in the manner that it did, the company not only breached those provisions of the employees\u2019 terms and conditions of service that stipulate how alleged poor performance should be treated but also the company was in breach of the implied term of mutual trust and confidence. This term, the CCJ noted, is implied by the common law into every contract of employment to ensure that employees are treated fairly and that employers do not conduct themselves in a manner that destroys or seriously damages the relationship of confidence and trust between employer and employee.<\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\">The Court therefore held that the employees should be awarded damages of at least the amount they would have been entitled to receive as severance pay under the Act. The CCJ dismissed the Company\u2019s appeal with costs to the employees calculated in accordance with Rule 17.15(3)(b) of the CCJ Appellate Jurisdiction Rules, 2021.<\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\">The judgment was delivered jointly by the Honourable Mr Justice Adrian Saunders, President, and the Honourable Mme. Justice Maureen Rajnauth-Lee, with the other judges on the Bench being the Honourable Justices Jacob Wit, Winston Anderson and Denys Barrow.<\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\">Mr Satcha Kissoon and Ms Joia Reece appeared for the Appellant. Mr Edmund King QC and Ms Nailah Robinson for the Respondents.<\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\">The full judgment of the CCJ and a judgment summary are available on the Court\u2019s website at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/r20.rs6.net\/tn.jsp?f=001r0HLL8ryPC7DrMoc2ics2S7H2xmy_7pAQXyeV-9C56Bpp8NhFrEyD8u8hW_iUfPZuIDfzyjMPuds5lQWoQQE_gArLnnxUmDPHCa6qL8xb6l9zzHSdD_FDniiO1o3AotJtl7JteNMWjI=&amp;c=QadDMVQAXePjO8Jh2XhE-Bx-p7bfAEBc0VTAACiM3LG9F-9pcm0wJg==&amp;ch=G08jHE-ks4VLUuuQycdsc2UQLbHr_1-s7rB8OfcY8sV3yaN-Eav1bw==\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/r20.rs6.net\/tn.jsp?f%3D001r0HLL8ryPC7DrMoc2ics2S7H2xmy_7pAQXyeV-9C56Bpp8NhFrEyD8u8hW_iUfPZuIDfzyjMPuds5lQWoQQE_gArLnnxUmDPHCa6qL8xb6l9zzHSdD_FDniiO1o3AotJtl7JteNMWjI%3D%26c%3DQadDMVQAXePjO8Jh2XhE-Bx-p7bfAEBc0VTAACiM3LG9F-9pcm0wJg%3D%3D%26ch%3DG08jHE-ks4VLUuuQycdsc2UQLbHr_1-s7rB8OfcY8sV3yaN-Eav1bw%3D%3D&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1648244492396000&amp;usg=AOvVaw0kn-cp4CqgJLL-KHniv_jn\">www.ccj.org<\/a>.<\/div>\n<div id=\"antig-1687256457\" class=\"antig-in-comments_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/@hadeedmotorsltd\" aria-label=\"Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 1000w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:75\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:192\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1000\" height=\"250\"   \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a judgment released today, the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) dismissed the appeal in the Barbadian case of Sandy Lane Hotel Co Ltd v Juliana Cato, Wayne Johnson and Charmaine Poyer [2022] CCJ 8 (AJ) BB.
