Facts of the Case
Background
The parties had an employer-employee relationship that ended in termination for misconduct in November 2010. An arbitrator found in favor of the respondent, and the Labour Court ordered the applicant to pay US$ 28,530.00 as damages in lieu of reinstatement. The dispute centers on whether this judgment debt should be paid in RTGS dollars (converted at 1:1 rate) or US dollars, following the enactment of S.I. 33 of 2019.
