Facts of the Case

Background

The applicant, a Labour Officer, sought confirmation of a draft ruling made in terms of section 93(5a) of the Labour Act. The matter concerned quantification of damages for unfair dismissal where reinstatement was not possible. Previous proceedings in LC/H/505/18 had been dismissed as premature because quantification had not been done.
