Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant, formerly an Accounting Assistant with the Health Service Board, was dismissed on 6 March 2015. Following successful review proceedings (judgment LC/H/303/2020 of 18 December 2020) he was reinstated without loss of salary or benefits and assumed duty on 1 September 2022. The respondent paid salary and benefits only from the reinstatement date, refusing back-pay for the period March 2015-August 2022. The applicant approached the court for quantification of 89 months' back-pay and accumulated leave days.
