INDUSTRIAL COURT

Pihak Syarikat perlu membuktikan bahawa Yang Menuntut telah melakukan salahlaku dengan mengemukakan keterangan-keterangan yang kukuh dan meyakinkan (cogent and convincing).Prinsip ini telah disebut dengan jelas di dalam kes
Stamford Executive Centre v Dharsini Ganesan
[1986] 1 ILR 101;

“It may further be emphasised here that in a dismissal case the employer must produce convincing evidence that the workman committed the offence or offences the workman is alleged to have committed for which he has been dismissed. The burden of proof lies on the employer.
He must prove the workman guilty and it is not the workman who must prove himself not guilty. This isso basic a principle of industrial jurisprudence that noemployer is expected to come to this Court in ignorance of it."
