Facts of the Case
Background
The appellants provided labour in an unregistered mining syndicate called Tawananyasha Gold Mine. After alleging unlawful dismissal, they reached a settlement for reinstatement through a labour officer. When reinstatement did not occur, they resigned and claimed terminal benefits. Meanwhile, the financiers registered Tawananyasha Joking A (Pvt) Ltd. The respondents raised a point in limine that an unregistered syndicate lacks legal personality to sue or be sued.
