The High Court allowed a labour revision, finding unfair termination for lack of a formal charge, denied cross-examination, no supplied investigation report, and bias in the disciplinary committee.
The trial magistrate correctly applied section 228(4) of the CPA when the appellants refused to plead due to absence of their advocates, and there was no violation of the right to be heard. The prosecution was ready to proceed with witnesses at the appropriate stage, and there was no abuse of power by the DPP in re-arresting and re-charging the appellants. The alleged extraneous matters in the trial court's ruling were judicial comments and not the basis of the decision. All grounds of appeal lack merit.

Source excerpt
The Court of Appeal allowed a land-related appeal, holding that the High Court dismissed a restoration application without hearing the parties, violating natural justice and fair hearing rights.
The court found that the applicant failed to prove valid reasons for termination and did not comply with mandatory procedural requirements, including conducting an investigation and affording the respondent a fair hearing. The compensation awarded by the CMA was correct as it was based on total remuneration. The application for revision lacked merit and was dismissed.
Source excerpt
The High Court nullified CMA proceedings for improper admission of exhibits and ordered a de novo hearing before a different arbitrator.
The Court erred by applying a mandatory life sentence under an amended provision not in force at the time of the offence; the applicable law provided for a maximum, not mandatory, life sentence, and the trial court had discretion to impose a lesser sentence. This error prejudiced the applicant and resulted in a miscarriage of justice, warranting review and substitution of the sentence.
