Facts of the Case

Background

The applicant, a Revenue Officer employed by Zimbabwe Revenue Authority, was suspended without pay for alleged misconduct related to false asset declarations. The disciplinary hearing could not be constituted within the 40-day period prescribed in the Code of Conduct because the Workers' Committee refused to second representatives. The applicant sought a declaratory order that his continued suspension was unlawful and reinstatement.
