Facts of the Case
Background
The appellant employed the respondent as a Regional Manager at Bindura. The respondent was charged with contravening sections 4(a) and 4(b) of Statutory Instrument 15 of 2006, found guilty and dismissed. After conciliation, a certificate of settlement was issued and the respondent was reinstated without loss of salary or benefits. The appellant later suspended and dismissed the respondent on the same charges. The arbitrator found the initial settlement unconditional and barred further proceedings, ordering reinstatement or damages of $56,520.
