MEMORANDUM OPINION
These wrongful discharge cases are before the Court on Motion of Petitioner employer for Writ of Review, seeking reversal of two decisions by the Virgin Islands Department of Labor. In each case, the agency placed the burden of proof on the employer, pursuant to Virgin Islands Rules and Regulations Title 24, Section 77-59, and concluded that the employee had been wrongfully discharged. The issue which this Court must address is whether the Department of Labor's regulation incorrectly allocates the burden of proof in wrongful discharge actions.
