Judgment No. SC 35/18 Civil Appeal No. SC 519/17 contractual right or entitlement to the school fees allowance. Consequently, the respondent’s claim in this respect is legally unsustainable. Fuel Allowance Increase As regards the claim for a fuel allowance increase, it is clear that the arbitrator did not award any increase. He recognised that this was a dispute of interest and not a dispute of right and accordingly directed the parties to continue to negotiate the issue and revert to him in the event of their failure to settle. Similarly, the court a quo simply referred this claim back to the parties to negotiate a reasonable increment. At the conclusion of his submissions, Mr Maguchu, for the appellant, agreed that the effect of the court a quo’s judgment in this respect was simply to confirm the arbitrator’s directive. He therefore conceded that this was not an appealable issue and did not persist with this aspect of the appeal. Personal Issue Motor Vehicles The respondent’s claim in respect of personal issue motor vehicles relates only to grade D3 managers. The claim is founded on an internal memorandum, dated 14 April 2008, from the Managing Director of ZESA Enterprises (ZENT), another subsidiary of the appellant. It was addressed to one Mervis Ngwenya, advising him/her that, as a result of an ongoing restructuring exercise, grade D3 managers now qualified for the company car benefit, and that he/she would therefore be allocated a suitable vehicle. 8
