Holding
Application dismissed, with no order as to costs
Facts
Applicant Francis Mose Obutu was a general worker injured on July 10, 2020, and the Director of Occupational Safety assessed Kshs.65,989.83 for his injuries. The Respondent refused to pay, and the ninety-day period for settlement expired without payment.
Issues
- Enforcement of Director's assessment
- Award of damages for failure to pay assessed sum
Reasoning
The application is an abuse of process as it seeks similar reliefs to those in a previous suit dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. The Court cannot entertain the application as it would amount to sitting in appeal over its own decision.
Outcome
Dismissed
