Summary:
BOR held that in the case of a first offence, the penalty was sufficient and the Commission should have exercised its discretion by simply issuing a warning. Umpire held that the BOR erred in law and exceeded its jurisdiction. The Act does not allow a notice of very serious violation given by the Commission to be varied and replaced by a warning.
