Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant employee successfully challenged his dismissal in a review application and sought quantification of damages. The respondent employer conceded liability for damages but disputed the quantum and currency of the claims, arguing that payments should be based on Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBAs) applicable at the time, which prescribed payment in Zimbabwean Dollars (ZWL) and United States Dollars (USD) at specific exchange rates, rather than the applicant's claim for current USD rates.
