Holding

The court finds that Crosslink Services Limited is the employer of the claimants and dismisses their claims for unpaid salary, incurred expenses, and general damages.

Facts

The claimants were recruited by Crosslink Services Limited to work in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) in various capacities. They executed contracts of employment with Crosslink Services Kenya, but claimed they were employed by Crosslink Services Rwanda. They sought unpaid salary, incurred expenses, general damages, and interest and costs.

Issues

  1. Whether Crosslink Services Limited is the employer of the claimants.
  2. Whether the claimants have proved their claims against the respondents.

Reasoning

The court determined that the claimants were employed by Crosslink Services Limited, not Crosslink Services Rwanda. The claimants failed to prove their claims due to lack of evidence and improper due diligence.

Outcome

Appeal dismissed

Orders

  • General damages dismissed
  • Claimed reimbursement of travel expenses dismissed
