Court

TANZLII

The applicant failed to prove that the respondent was employed under a specific task contract and not a permanent contract. The respondent was employed on a permanent oral contract and was unfairly terminated without lawful reason or procedure. The purported out-of-Commission settlement was not valid as proper procedures were not followed. The respondent is entitled to compensation for unfair termination, but not to subsistence allowance as there was no evidence of transfer.
