Holding

The court allows the Claimants' prayer to amend their claim and directs the Respondent to deposit Kshs.4,779,321.00 in Court.

Facts

The Respondent issued letters declaring the Claimants redundant without issuing a mandatory redundancy notice. The Claimants are apprehensive about not receiving their terminal dues.

Issues

  1. Claimants' right to amend their claim
  2. Respondent's obligation to deposit the total sum claimed by the Claimants

Reasoning

The court allows the amendment as the case is still at the interlocutory stage and the amendments are critical for the just determination of the case. The court directs the Respondent to deposit 50% of the claimed amount.

Outcome

The court grants the application and directs the Respondent to deposit the sum in Court.
