UNGUKA BANK Plc v UTUJE NYIRAGASHAPURE
Payment of salary and benefits in lieu of notice, including double compensation when dismissal occurs during leave, satisfies the legal requirements for termination. The absence of written notice does not make the dismissal unlawful if the statutory compensation is paid. The damages awarded at first instance were not justified as the employer complied with the law.
