1. The history of this case is set out in the judgment which I delivered on 8th May. Since then, the Claimants have lodged an application for leave to cross-appeal on the prescribed form. On 27th June, the Registrar granted them an extension of their time for cross-appealing.

2. For the reasons given in my judgment, I grant the Claimants leave to cross-appeal against the dismissal by the Presiding Officer of their claims for wages in lieu of notice, I allow their cross-appeals, I set aside the order of the Presiding Officer dismissing their claims for wages in lieu of notice, I declare that the Claimants' contracts could not have been terminated by notice of less than one month, and I direct that the cases of the Claimants be remitted to the Presiding Officer for him to decide what sums are due to the Claimants as wages in lieu of notice.
