Holding

The suit is dismissed with costs to the Respondent

Facts

The Claimant, Moses Kimanzi Katii, was employed as a mason grade III by the Respondent, H. Young & Co. (E.A.) Limited. He claimed wrongful dismissal, non-payment of terminal benefits, and unpaid salary. He alleged that he was dismissed without notice and without being given an opportunity to be heard. The Respondent claimed that the Claimant resigned his employment on his own volition.

Issues

  1. Whether due procedure and substantive justice were adhered to prior to the Claimant's dismissal
  2. Whether the Claimant is entitled to the reliefs sought

Reasoning

The Claimant failed to prove either constructive dismissal or coercion, and he resigned from work, making him not entitled to notice.

Outcome

Dismissed with costs
