SONARWA v. KABANDA
The Supreme Court held that compensation for unlawful dismissal must be calculated on the net salary actually received by the employee, not the gross salary, and that the High Court erred in using the gross salary. The correct net salary was determined from payslips and bank records, and the compensation was recalculated accordingly, deducting amounts already paid as severance.
