Facts of the Case
Background
The parties were involved in a lease dispute over premises at 35 Simon Mazorodze Road, Ardbennie, Harare. An arbitrator issued an award in favour of Harrison Holdings (Pvt) Ltd for arrear rentals and holding over damages in US dollars. Harrison Holdings applied to register the award, while Munakiri Leaf Tobacco and Simbarashe Munakiri applied to set it aside, arguing it violated public policy by awarding US dollars when Zimbabwe law required local currency.
