Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant contracted the first respondent to grow tobacco for the 2018-2019 season. The second and third respondents bound themselves as sureties. The respondents failed to deliver sufficient tobacco to offset a US$427,024.90 liability. An arbitrator ruled the debt should be paid in Zimbabwe dollars at 1:1 rate. The applicant sought to set aside this award as contrary to public policy.
