</div>POKU-ACHEAMPONG, J.A.<o:p></o:p>This is an appeal in respect of a Labour Suit brought on
behalf of three young men who used to work with the Respondent Bank, Ghana
Commercial Bank Ltd.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>On 23rd May, 2016 the High Court (Labour Court 1)
delivered its judgment and dismissed all the claims of the Plaintiffs/Appellants.<o:p></o:p>Aggrieved and highly dissatisfied with the judgment the Plaintiffs
/Appellants on 1st August 2017 filed a Notice of Appeal on the
following grounds:<o:p></o:p>GROUNDS
OF APPEAL<o:p></o:p>a.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; That the Judge erred in Law when she
failed to hold that Plaintiffs having attained the status of temporary workers
they by law attained the status of permanent workers and ought to have been
treated as permanent workers.<o:p></o:p>b.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; That the Judge erred in Law when she
concluded that Plaintiffs have not been trained in core banking and as such
were not qualified for employment as permanent workers.<o:p></o:p>c.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Judge erred grievously in Law when
she held that Plaintiffs did not accept the transfers issued by the Defendant
but wrongly concluded that there was no transfer at all and therefore misdirected
herself on the issue.<o:p></o:p>d.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; That the Judge erred in Law when she
