Facts of the Case
Background
Sixteen employees challenged their retrenchment by Stuttafords Removals as unlawful. The matter was referred to arbitration where the arbitrator found the retrenchment unlawful and awarded each employee six months' salary and benefits as damages. The applicants then filed a chamber application to register the quantified arbitral award, which the respondent opposed on procedural grounds.
