TypeLabor DisputePostureRespondent's preliminary objection to the Claimant's claimCoramD. K. N. Marete
Holding

The preliminary objection is allowed, and the claim is dismissed with costs.

Facts

The claimant lost his employment with the respondent in 1998 and filed a previous case in Eldoret CMCC No. 174 of 2003.

Issues

  1. Claim is time barred by Section 90 of the Employment Act
  2. Claim contravenes the Limitation of Actions Act
  3. Claim is res judicata
  4. Claim is an abuse of court process

Reasoning

The claim is time barred by Section 90 of the Employment Act and the Limitation of Actions Act. The introduction of the 2nd Respondent is a camouflage to mislead the court. The claimant failed to disclose material facts in a previous case.
