   JUDGMENT OF THE COURT, 13 March 2013. Application for leave to appeal is denied. Since the Employment Court and Court of Appeal judgments, s 9(3) of the Holidays Act 2003 was repealed and replaced with the new s 9A. As such, the Supreme Court held that the correct interpretation of s 9(1) in relation to s 9(3) was principally only of historical interest, and that the question of how s 9(1) interests with the new s 9A should only be determined if and when issues arise as to their application. The case therefore did not give rise to any question of public or general importance.
