John Faitala and Vahanoa Vea v The Pacific Island Business Development Trust

John Faitala and Vahanoa Vea brought personal grievances against The Pacific Island Business Development Trust after it disestablished their manager roles in a 2023 restructure, and the Authority found both redundancy dismissals unjustified. Both challenged the Authority's remedies in the Employment Court, where the decisions on file are two interlocutory judgments and a costs judgment. The costs judgment records that the Court's substantive judgment increased their compensation and lost wages awards.
