One garnishee notice is for the remittal of the sum of USD 24,076,521.04 from the applicant’s account to the first respondent. More
This matter has a long history. I write this judgment in order to set the record straight in the light of the fact that the respondents are now self-actors who may intend to continue to fight their cause as evidenced by their continued writing of letters a determination which was already made as will become apparent later.
The first, second and third respondents are erstwhile employees of the applicant. The parties are embroiled in a labour dispute that resulted in the dispute being referred for determination by arbitration. The history of the dispute was set out in detail in the... More

1. This is a composite judgment in respect of two applications for bail pending appeal, i.e. Cases No. HC 186/22 and HC 187/22. The applicants in both cases were jointly charged and tried together before the Regional Magistrate Court, sitting in Plumtree. Although each applicant filed his own notice of appeal, they are appealing the same judgment, and they both seek release on bail pending the finalisation of their respective appeals against the same judgment. At the hearing of the applications, applicants were both represented by one counsel. I then heard the two applications jointly and hence this composite judgment. More
