When does attendance at a rugby match trigger a dismissal from employment | Curvest

This case turns on an answer to that question. On the morning of 9 June 2018, the third respondent advised one of the appellant’s managers that he had taken ill and that he would not be attending work on that day. It turned out that on that very day, 2 that the third respondent claimed to be ill, he and his father travelled for at least an hour from Jeffreys Bay, where he resided to Port Elizabeth to attend a rugby match. It is instructive to note, that had he left his home and attended to his employment responsibilities, the trip would have taken 20 minutes.
