Facts of the Case
Background
George Dikinya was unlawfully dismissed from his position as managing director of Zimnat Life Assurance Company in June 2004. The Supreme Court ordered his reinstatement with no loss of salary or benefits, or alternatively damages in lieu of reinstatement. The respondent failed to reinstate him and interfered with his attempts to secure alternative employment, making him effectively unemployable.
