Facts of the Case

Background

Ariston Management Services obtained a loan from Econet Wireless repayable in USD. A dispute arose regarding repayment currency after SI 33/19 made RTGS dollars legal tender at parity with USD. The dispute went to arbitration which favored Econet. Ariston applied to set aside the award while Econet applied for registration. The High Court rendered a composite judgment registering the award and dismissing Ariston's application. Ariston appealed to the Supreme Court which upheld a point in limine and struck the appeal off the roll, failing to address the appeal against registration.
