CHIDZIVA, J:

This is an application for confirmation of a ruling by a Designated Agent. The ruling was made after a certificate of no settlement was made. The Designated Agent relied on claimant and Respondent’s written submissions.

When the parties appeared before this court they indicated that they were not opposing the application. Mr Tundu indicated that he had not filed the notice of opposition and heads of arguments. He then applied for condonation of late filing of the notice of opposition and heads of arguments. This court dismissed this application because despite being served with the notice of application in August 2019 the Respondent had not taken any action until 22 June 2020.

This court therefore orders as follows,

The draft ruling by Designated Agent Tonderai Mutsago be and is hereby confirmed.

The 1st Respondent is ordered to pay 2nd to 46th Respondent as follows,

Salaries, housing and transport allowances for March 2017to December 2018 amounting to $147452-00.

Salaries, housing, transport allowances for January 2019 to March 2019 amounting to ZWL $44 753-16.

The 1st Respondent is to pay a total of$192 205-16 in outstanding salaries on housing and transport allowances within 60 days of receiving this order.

Each party shall bear its costs.
