TypeUnfair TerminationPostureClaimant vs RespondentsCoramHON. LADY JUSTICE MAUREEN ONYANGO
Holding

The Claimant was employed by the Respondents and her termination was unfair.

Facts

Claimant was employed as a waiter by Respondents from August 2011 to December 2011. She was terminated without notice and without a written contract. She claimed unfair termination and sought compensation and other relief.

Issues

  1. Whether the Claimant was employed by the Respondents
  2. Whether the Claimant's employment was unfairly terminated
  3. Whether the claimant is entitled to the reliefs sought

Reasoning

The court found that the Respondents failed to submit any evidence disproving the Claimant's allegations on how her employment was terminated, and thus the termination was unfair.

Outcome

Claimant's claim for unfair termination and other reliefs is upheld.
