Holding

The court finds that the Claimant did not prove he sustained an injury at work. The court also finds that the termination was not unfair.

Facts

The Claimant, ONS, was employed as a Supplies Officer by Kenya Airways Limited. On September 16, 2009, he was injured while stock taking and subsequently had his leg amputated. He returned to work but later suffered depression and was terminated on June 13, 2011.

Issues

  2. Whether the Claimant was unfairly terminated
  3. Whether the Claimant is entitled to the reliefs sought

Reasoning
