Case brief

AI extract

What is this about?

Review application by ESI Corporation seeking modification of a prior appellate order that had allowed its appeal for non-impleading of employees and given the Corporation liberty to implead them. The court allowed the review in part by substituting the liberty so it rests with the employer to implead the employees and proceed with the enquiry.

What did the court decide?

Paragraph 8 of the earlier order modified: liberty granted to the employer to implead the employees and proceed with the enquiry; fresh order copy to be issued; no costs.
