Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant, CEO of NetOne Cellular (Private) Limited (6th respondent), challenged the validity of a 9 July 2020 letter terminating his employment on three months' notice. He contended that as CEO of a public entity, his removal was governed by the Public Entities Corporate Governance Act requiring Presidential endorsement and fault-based dismissal, not the Labour Act's termination-on-notice provisions.
