Kelvin’s employer terminates his employment on the basis of allegations of fraud made by another employee who, it was well known, desired Kelvin’s job.

Kelvin’s employer failed to carry out any investigations prior to his termination

and did not give Kelvin an opportunity to be heard. Had the employer done so,

Kelvin would have provided concrete evidence to illustrate that the claim of

fraud was untrue. Kelvin suffers injury to his reputation and is unable to obtain

other employment as a result. He wants to sue for substantial damages but there

is no unfair dismissal legislation in his country.
