Facts of the Case
Background
The City of Harare dismissed Amos Chikwanda, a clerical officer, after US$34,247 went missing. The Labour Court found the dismissal unlawful and ordered reinstatement. The City obtained leave to appeal to the Supreme Court but failed to pay record preparation costs within 5 days, causing the appeal to lapse. The City now applies for reinstatement of the appeal.
