##### 149 Special civil remedy against the Crown
(1) Where a member of the Forces considers that his employer or former employer, being the Crown, has failed to comply with a provision of this Division requiring the employer or former employer to reinstate that member of the Forces in his employment under the conditions prescribed by this Division or prohibiting the termination or variation of the employment of that member of the Forces, that member of the Forces may apply to a court of summary jurisdiction constituted by a Police, Stipendiary or Special Magistrate for compensation.
(2) The court shall hear the application and, if it finds that there has been a failure to comply with any provision referred to in the last preceding subsection, the court may order that the employer or former employer shall pay the employee or former employee, as the case may be, such compensation as the court thinks reasonable.
(3) Proceedings may be taken upon an order under this section as if the order were a judgment or order of the court in favour of the employee or former employee.
