adminfraction of a cent after the money was converted. He said in that regards, it was just as good as that Cairns did not owe him anything.
Mr Selemani went on to file a writ of recovery at the High Court, claiming that he agreed with Cairns that his retirement package, back salaries, medical benefits and other bonuses amounted to US$2,6 million.
But the High Court referred him back to Mr Kachambwa’s judgment and wrote to him informing him that according to that ruling he would stand to benefit just a fraction of a cent for his services to the company.
Mr Selemani served Cairns, which is now under judicial management, for 17 years until his retirement on medical grounds in 2007. “In the result, my view is that we cannot issue a writ without the figure or amount due to you shown or a court order,” said the High Court in the letter dated June 27. “Issuing a writ for recovery of a fraction of a cent would not make sense.”
The High Court said Mr Selemani’s matter had been struck off the court roll after the court ruled that his pending appeal had no legal basis and was merely academic.
