Zimbabwe: High Court Boots Out Former Duly's Manager's Car Claim - Says Labour Court Has Exclusive Jurisdiction

Zimbabwe: High Court Dismisses Former Manager's Car Claim

The High Court has struck off a claim by Theresa Ruredzo, a retired administrator of Duly Holdings Limited, who demanded a Ford Everest vehicle as part of her terminal benefits.

Justice Munangati-Manongwa ruled that the matter belongs in the Labour Court, not the High Court, upholding a special plea filed by the vehicle dealer.

It is evident that the plaintiff's claim, despite its contractual framing, fundamentally relates to the employment relationship and the associated terminal benefits.

Ruredzo worked for 31 years and two months at Duly Holdings, rising from clerk typist to national administration manager, before retiring in November 2017.

The judge ruled that the Labour Court has exclusive jurisdiction to resolve such disputes, as they are rooted in the employment relationship.

Author's summary: Court dismisses car claim due to jurisdiction issue.
