ABSTRACT
Facts: On 14 July 1983, the appellant (Mr Mohamed Ali), then the acting head teacher of the Bush Lot Secondary School, West Coast, in the county of Berbice, received a letter from the Teaching Service Commission terminating his services; but it disclosed no reason for the precipitate course. Quite naturally, the appellant, who had been a teacher for some nineteen years, was distraught and, two days later, went to the headquarters of his union, the respondents. He protested his innocence and demanded to be re-instated. One year after the union promised to represent him, the appellant again met its officials and, on that occasion, a Minister of the Government, a Mr Salahuddin, was present. The appellant’s disappointment, leading to the present litigation in which he claims (inter alia) damages for breach of contract that on several occasions up to two and a half years later, he was never reinstated and he felt the respondents never represented him.
