State-owned Petrotrin is appealing an injunction from the Industrial Court which puts a halt on the termination of employees from that company. The appeal was filed around 4pm on Tuesday. Among its 15 grounds of appeal, Petrotrin argues that the Industrial Court erred in its judgement in a number of areas, among them, granting the injunction when it had no jurisdiction to do so in an industrial relations complaint. The Company also argues that the Court erred in law by failing to consider the legal effect of the appellant's uncontested evidence of fundamentally changed circumstances on the applicability of the Memorandum of Agreement dated April 3rd 2018 between Petrotrin and the OWTU. It argues too that the court erred in law by failing to consider sufficiently all relevant factors in determining where the greater risk of injustice lies and the uncontested evidence of Petrotrin Chairman, Wilfred Espinet, and Vishnu Dhanpaul of the deleterious effects on the appellant, the Government, the national interest, and the community as a whole.
