Facts of the Case

Background

The applicants, former executives of the first respondent, were terminated in July 2013 and claimed substantial severance packages. They filed an urgent application to prevent the first respondent from disposing of its assets in Zimbabwe, alleging it was asset-stripping with the intent to leave the country and frustrate any potential judgment in their favor.
