Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant sought quantification of damages after the respondent refused to comply with a court order for reinstatement dated 28 September 2023, instead offering to pay damages in lieu of reinstatement. The parties agreed on most issues but disputed whether benefits should be included, whether to use gross or net salary, and the currency of payment.
