Facts of the Case

Background

The applicant, ZESA Holdings, sought leave to appeal to the Supreme Court against a Labour Court judgment that upheld an arbitral award by Mr. Manase. The award deemed the respondent, Itayi Utah, to still be in the applicant's employment despite him having immigrated to the United Kingdom and having received a payment from the applicant. The applicant argued that the lower court erred on several grounds, including the date of retrenchment and the currency of payment.
