stanbic bank t limited vs iddi halfani 2023 tzca 17496 11 august 2023

The respondent's termination was substantively fair due to regulatory requirements but procedurally unfair as the employer failed to follow mandatory procedures under the Employment and Labour Relations Act. The Bank of Tanzania was not a necessary party to the dispute. Compensation for unfair termination was reduced to twelve months' remuneration, and the award of costs against the appellant was set aside as the application for revision was not frivolous or vexatious.
