Court rules in favour of BNYC in P2m suit

The court overturned the decision by Lobatse High Court Judge Zaine Kebonang, which ruled in favour of the axed employees.

He said that BNYC by offering the former employees a three-year contract of employment had created a legitimate expectation that the two would have continued employment, barring anything unforeseen, for at least three years. BNYC challenged this at the CoA arguing that the duo’s dismissal was lawful and they were therefore not entitled to damages.
