Procedural Posture

Labour Appeal / Final Appellate Judgment

  1. 1 Whether Nyandwi Fulgence was governed by the General Statute of Public Servants or the Labour Law
  2. 2 Whether Nyandwi Fulgence was dismissed unlawfully
  3. 3 Whether Nyandwi Fulgence is entitled to compensation for dismissal, lack of work certificate, removal from blacklist, and other claims

Ratio Decidendi

Nyandwi Fulgence was a public servant governed by the General Statute, not the Labour Law. He committed a serious fault by failing to deposit work funds into the designated account. Dismissal followed proper disciplinary procedure. The General Statute does not provide for compensation, notice, severance, or work certificate for dismissed public servants. Claims for removal from blacklist were unsupported by evidence. The appeal for review based on alleged injustice lacked merit.

Court Disposition

appeal dismissed; prior High Court judgment affirmed

Orders

  • Nyandwi Fulgence to pay RSSB 200,000 Frw for litigation costs and 500,000 Frw for attorney fees
  • Court fees to remain with the State Treasury
