Holding

The termination was lawful and proper, and the suit is dismissed with costs to the Respondent.

Facts

Claimant was employed by Respondent from April 2003 to February 2012. He turned 60 in December 2010, the retirement age for male employees. The Statutory Manager stated his last day of service was January 31, 2012. Claimant sought an extension to serve until the end of 2012.

Issues

  1. Was the termination of employment lawful?
  2. Was the claimant entitled to damages for trauma, depression, anxiety, stress, humiliation, frustration and suffering?

Reasoning

Claimant did not prove he suffered trauma, depression, anxiety, stress, humiliation, frustration and suffering. He did not adduce any medical report or tender evidence of such. The claim on General damages would therefore not lie.

Outcome

Dismissal with costs
