Holding

Facts
The applicants, Lawi Duda and 21 others, claimed wrongful termination of employment by Bamburi Cement Company Ltd. The High Court dismissed the suit, and the applicants appealed to the Court of Appeal, which also dismissed their appeal.
Issues

Reasoning
The Court finds that the order directing written submissions and setting time for oral address does not violate the right to fair trial. The Court also notes that the intended appeal does not raise matters of general public importance beyond the personal interests of the applicants.
