Holding
The appeal is dismissed with costs as the trial court did not err in declining to grant the orders of certiorari and mandamus.
Facts
The appellant was employed in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and was dismissed on allegations of misconduct. The appellant sought judicial review to quash the dismissal and reinstate him.
Issues
- Whether the dismissal was procedurally valid
- Whether the dismissal violated the Vienna Convention on diplomatic immunity
Reasoning
The court found that the dismissal was made by the Public Service Commission and not the Permanent Secretary. The appellant was not dismissed by the Permanent Secretary and the letter dated 16th May 2007 was not the letter that dismissed him.

Appeal dismissed
