selemani omary shabani vs swift motors limited 2023 tzhcld 1410 8 september 2023

The revision court cannot determine substantive and procedural fairness of the termination as these were not addressed by the CMA; the matter must be remitted for hearing on merits.

  • Unfair termination
  • Premature filing
  • Burden of proof
  • Jurisdiction of cma
