This case involved the appeal against a regulatory tribunal decision involving an Employment Standards Office decision on wrongful dismissal of two sisters who had worked for a company. A key issue was whether they had whistleblowing protection and how the definition of 'good faith' applied when deciding if this protection applied. The employer had suggested the decision to report had not been in good faith as the sisters had set up a company and may have been trying to remove a director who had acquired a shareholding in their employer by some sort of coup.
