AI summary
The Labour Appeal Court heard an appeal about a recruitment process for a Chief Financial Officer post at the Moses Kotane Institute. It found that the Institute unfairly discriminated against Mr Mzimele by not appointing him because he was male, but it set aside the award of patrimonial damages because the claim was confined to patrimonial loss and that loss was not proved.
This may be relevant to employers and labour law practitioners dealing with recruitment, discrimination and damages claims under the Employment Equity Act.
