</div>INTRODUCTION<o:p></o:p>In
a complaint received on the 6th of January, 2004 the Complainant alleged that
he was declared redundant in 1993 but paid only a meager severance award. The
matter was referred to court and the ruling favoured the Complainant and other
redundant workers but the Respondent had failed to comply with it.<o:p></o:p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:5.0pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:

mso-border-shadow:yes">The
Complainant therefore requested for a higher severance award with interest and
a ¢100 million compensation package from the Respondent.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>OBSERVATION:<o:p></o:p>The
Commission declines any further investigations into the case because the matter
had already been decided by the law courts.<o:p></o:p>The
Complainant is however advised to go back to court if the Respondent had failed
to comply with the courts ruling.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>DECISION<o:p></o:p>Any
further investigation is ceased in accordance with S.8 (2) (a) of Act 456. The
Commissioner shall not investigate a matter which is pending before a court or
judicial tribunal.<o:p></o:p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:5.0pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:
