Holding

The Court rejects the application and orders the Parties to take a date for hearing of this case.

Facts

The Claimant, Esther Mutembei, filed a suit against the Respondent, Oracle Systems Limited, alleging wrongful dismissal. The Respondent filed a Notice of Preliminary Objection, claiming that the suit was compromised by a Consent Letter dated 04/09/2017.

Issues

  1. Whether the Consent Letter is binding on the parties
  2. Whether the Respondent can introduce other conditions not expressly provided in the settlement agreement

Reasoning

The Court notes that the parties have been appearing in court and has not settled the matter. The Respondent's insistence on the consent as a settlement is not the true position of the parties.

Outcome

The application is dismissed.

Orders

  • The Parties to take a date for hearing of this case as ordered by Court on 13/3/2018 or enter a fresh consent to be filed before this Court.
