Background
The applicant, a City of Harare employee charged with fraud in 2019 for an alleged offence committed in December 2016, brought a review application arguing the disciplinary committee lacked jurisdiction because the matter had prescribed under s 94 of the Labour Act. The application was brought while disciplinary proceedings were still pending.
