Facts of the Case

Background

In 2011 the Labour Court awarded the applicant damages for unlawful dismissal in both US and Zimbabwean dollars. The High Court Registrar refused to issue a writ for the Zimbabwean dollar portion, requiring conversion to USD first. The applicant then applied to the Labour Court for conversion and now seeks interim relief of US$10 million pending that conversion application.
