Key legal question
Whether the suspensive effect of the appeal against the validity decision should be restored.
Extracted holding
No. The interests in immediate enforcement outweighed the employee's interests, and the court found no clearly favorable prospects on the merits.
Extracted reasoning
The Federal Court reviewed only for abuse of discretion. The lower authority had plausibly relied on repeated performance complaints, the employer's interest in not having to retain an employee rated insufficient for years, and the need for smooth service; the employee's financial disadvantages did not outweigh this.
