The GSD says it would like to remind the public will about the concerns it raised over Mr Sardeña’s claim against the Gibraltar Bus Company Limited for unfair dismissal. As predicted, says the GSD, the “unexpected and sudden withdrawal” by the Government has resulted in a “significant award” of £51,238.40 being made to Mr Sardeña. This information was revealed in answer to questions put to the Government by Mr Selwyn Figueras.
