Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant, formerly employed as a property manager, was dismissed in March 2022. He successfully appealed to the Labour Court, which ordered his reinstatement with full back pay. When reinstatement proved untenable, he applied for quantification of damages in lieu of reinstatement and back pay, claiming dual salary components in USD and RTGS.
