TypeEmployment DisputePostureClaimant v RespondentCoramNzioki wa Makau
Holding

The court dismissed the claimant's suit as there was insufficient evidence to establish an employer-employee relationship.

Facts

Claimant was employed by Respondent as a clerk from May 2011 to October 2015. He was dismissed without reasonable cause and did not receive his terminal dues.

Issues

  1. Employment status of the Claimant
  2. Payment of terminal dues

Reasoning

The court applied the control test to determine the existence of an employer-employee relationship. The court found that the Claimant was not an employee but a commission agent for matatu owners, and thus dismissed the suit.

Outcome

The suit is dismissed but with no order as to costs.
