The matter concerned the legal effect of Section 54 of the Banking Act when a banking institution is placed under curatorship. Renaissance Financial Holdings Ltd (RMB) was placed under curatorship by the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe on 2 June 2011, with Reggie Saruchera appointed as curator. The Supreme Court had previously allowed an appeal and remitted the matter for proper determination of the special case regarding the legal implications of curatorship.
