Holding
The termination of the employment of the claimant by the respondent was not wrongful, unfair and unlawful.
Facts
Claimant Leah Oranga was injured at work on 31 May 2013 and treated at the respondent's dispensary. She was referred to Nandi Hills Hospital and advised to take a one-week off-duty. The claimant was then assigned light duties at the respondent's premises, but the respondent ignored the recommendation. On 20 June 2013, the respondent coerced the claimant to surrender her X-ray film obtained at Nandi Hills Hospital.
Issues
- Whether the termination of the employment of the claimant by the respondent was wrongful, unfair and unlawful?
- Whether the claimant is entitled to the relief sought?
Reasoning
The court found that the respondent did not fail to produce records to rebut the claimant's claims and that the adverse presumption in favor of the employee did not apply.
