IN THE LABOUR COURT OF ZIMBABWE 	JUDGMENT NO. LC/H/720/2013

In the Matter Between

COSTA LAISON				APPELANT

And

TINEO ENTERPRISES			RESPONDENT

Before The Honourable E. Makamure:	Judge

For Appellant:	Mr Twoboy Jerera (Trade Unionist)

For Respondent:  	Mr Samuel Jariwemombe (Administrator)

MAKAMURE J,

This is an appeal against a determination by an arbitrator. In order for such an appeal to be properly before the Court,issues of law only must be raised as provided for in Section 98(10) of the Labour Act [Cap 28:01] (The Act).

The appellant has not raised any grounds of appeal against the Arbitrator’s determination. What has been titled “Appellant’s grounds of appeal” is a historical background to the matter at hand. Clearly that is not proper. An appeal with no grounds of appeal is a nullity (See State vs. Jack 1990 (2) ZLR 166 (SC). For that reason this matter is not properly before the court.

Accordingly the matter is struck off the roll.
