A state company has failed in its bid to overturn a tribunal decision that awarded a former dockyard worker the set-off sum of €175 - plus interest - after considering two opposing allowance claims.
Resource Support and Services Ltd had filed proceedings before the Small Claims Tribunal seeking reimbursement of €3,573.51 plus interest, paid to Lawrence Attard Bezzina, a former dockyard worker transferred to its predecessor, Industrial Projects and Services Ltd (IPSL) back in 2003.
For the following 12 years, the employee had been seconded to various government departments, being assigned duties that fell beyond his civil service grade.

“For some must watch, while others sleep, so runs the world away.”
Some soldier, on some long-forgotten day, wrote this line – quoted (not quite accurately) from William Shakespeare’s Hamlet – under a sizeable painting on one of the walls of the Main Guard, in Valletta. It is unlikely that we will ever know who he was but with that verse he undoubtedly summed up the essence of the watchful function of a building that has a thousand stories to tell through the paintings he and his colleagues left behind on those walls.
