Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant sought confirmation of a Labour Officer's ruling in a dispute between Taurai Mukaki and Med Farms. The matter had originally commenced before an arbitrator under the old law, but after the Labour Amendment Act rendered the arbitrator's office obsolete, Mukaki commenced fresh proceedings before a Labour Officer. Med Farms opposed the confirmation, arguing the Labour Officer lacked jurisdiction.
