In her judgment, Commissioner Pearl Lim stated, "Mr. Macnish was not in the situation of someone who was rostered on to work, had too many drinks at the Virgin Christmas Party, and then proceeded to turn up to work." This underlines the fairness of Macnish's conduct leading up to his dismissal. His dedication to safety and protocol was clear as he sought permission for his shift and maintained awareness of alcohol consumption regulations.
Commissioner Lim deemed the dismissal 'harsh', implying that the circumstances surrounding the case, including Macnish’s prior conduct and communication, warranted a lesser penalty than termination. This emphasizes an understanding of reasonable workplace expectations, especially when balancing personal lives with professional responsibilities.
