Holding

The claimant's application is dismissed, and the preliminary objection filed by the respondent is upheld.

Facts

The claimant filed an application against the respondent, a company, alleging that he was not employed by the respondent. The respondent denied this and claimed that the claimant's suit was time-barred due to the three-year limitation period under the Employment Act.

Issues

  1. Whether the claimant was employed by the respondent
  2. Whether the claimant's suit is time-barred

Reasoning

The Court finds that the claimant was not employed by the respondent and that the respondent's response to the suit is undisputedly that the suit is time-barred. Therefore, the claimant's application is dismissed.

Outcome

The claimant's application is dismissed.

Orders

  • The claimant's application is dismissed.
  • The preliminary objection filed by the respondent is upheld.
  • The entire suit is dismissed with costs.
