Facts of the Case

Background

The respondent employee was found guilty by the Regional Hearing Committee of soliciting and accepting a bribe from a supplier, contravening the Zimpost Code of Conduct. The National Hearing Committee set aside this decision on procedural grounds, leading to this appeal where both parties agreed the NHC decision was erroneous and requested a de novo hearing by the Labour Court.
