Sujatha Selliah, Partner at Messrs. Dharmen Sivalingam & Partners, commented on her recent success where she represented a company based in Dubai. Since the company is based in Dubai, there were issues with communication and costs. Plus, attending trial not including fees/docs is difficult and to have them convince the judge why the claimant was demoted instead of terminated him was difficult too. The decision was as expected and it was a relief that justice did prevail.

This case is of particular significance as it impacts future cases involving demotion and termination. This is because it is the first of its kind involving a person being demoted and being terminated the following working day.
