Labour law MSAFIRI Ruling Final

MSAFIRI Ruling Final

Court
TANZLII

The applicant materially breached clause No. 12 of the employment contract by using another client’s account to bill orders for unqualified customers, exposing the respondent to business risk and tax implications. The procedure for termination was followed, the applicant was notified and heard, and the sanction imposed was justified. The award of the CMA was properly procured.

Upon execution of the fixed-term contract, the initial permanent and pensionable contract was automatically terminated; the parties could not have two full-time contracts concurrently; any alleged oral agreement to revive the initial contract is inadmissible due to the parol evidence rule and statutory requirements for written contracts.
