1. Summary 
Davis was an Employee at Beehive Partner. He was also employed as a senior Auditor by 
the Beehive partner since last five year. He was undergoing an audit of courses and 
qualifications. He worked in the areas responsible for overseeing the audit process. The 
outcome of the audit could affect offering of courses and enrolments and funding. He sent 
an email to all audit employed by Beehive alleging that members were being pressured to 
participate in the fraudulent creation of false documentation for the audit. He did not 
report these allegations to Beehive. The Copy of the email made its way to the CEO who 
considered taking disciplinary action for the manner of raising the allegations and not 
reporting those serious allegations to management. He was suspended on full pay pending 
investigation of issue and whether disciplinary action would be taken. He went to court to 
claim against the suspension and threatened disciplinary action.  
But Judges dismissed the application as they accepted the evidence of the decision maker 
that she did not take adverse action because of his industrial activity but because of the 
inappropriate way that he raised allegations of serious misconduct. He appealed. The 
majority allowed the appeal and held that the state of mind or subjective intention of the 
person who took the action will be centrally relevant, but not decisive.
The Court needed to determine the “real reason” which may be unconscious. To 
discharge the reverse onus Beehive needed to disassociate the employment from his 
industrial activity - which it had failed to do. It was not relevant to compare him with 
other employees who had not engaged in industrial activity.Third, the reasons of the 
decision-maker at the time of the employment law is the focus of the Court's inquiry . 
Fourth, the findings as to the "unconscious" state of mind of the decision-maker are not 
permissible "In this Court, the respondents did not refer to this approach in their written 
submissions.  This was despite the fact that the appellant had criticised it in its written 
submissions.  The respondents referred to it in oral argument.
