Practice question: Burden of Proof

Multiple Choice Hard

Practice question

A tribunal finds neither that an employee was dismissed nor that he abandoned his job. The employee argues that the employer’s failed abandonment theory conclusively proves illegal dismissal. Which is best?
  1. Every failed defense proves the complaint automatically
  2. Absence of abandonment necessarily establishes an employer termination
  3. There can never be a case with neither established
  4. The employer wins every unrelated money claim automatically
  5. The issues have distinct proof requirements; failure to establish abandonment does not itself supply missing proof of dismissal
