Facts of the Case
Background
The respondent was a former employee of the applicant whose employment contract was terminated. The Labour Court dismissed his appeal and upheld the termination. The applicant provided a motor vehicle to the respondent under a scheme where the respondent would pay the purchase price through monthly salary deductions. Following termination, the respondent stopped payments, and the applicant seeks to recover the vehicle as it retains ownership until full purchase price is paid.
