Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant, employed as a Debtors Clerk by the respondent, was dismissed for fraud after conniving with another person to produce a fraudulent agreement for a non-existent stand in Rusape, resulting in the release of pension fund money held by National Building Society. He challenged the dismissal through internal appeal, then sought review on grounds of lack of jurisdiction and failure to address mitigation.
