REPUBLIC OF KENYA

IN THE HIGH COURT OF KENYA AT NAKURU

CIVIL APPEAL  NUMBER167 OF 2012

CARZAN FLOWERS(K)LIMITED............................................ APPELLANT

VERSUS

JUDY CHERONO KORIR.........................................................RESPONDENT

(Being an appeal from the Judgment/Decree of Hon. MWANIKI, Senior Resident Magistrate, Nakuru, delivered on 7th August, 2012 in Nakuru CMCC No. 2193 of 2006)

DIRECTIONS

The dispute subject of this appeal as may be discerned from pleadings in the trial court revolve around Employment and Labour Relations.

Section 12 of the Employment and Labour Relations Act Chapter 234Bgives the Employment and Labour Relations Court exclusive and original appellate jurisdiction to hear and determine disputes arising from employment disputes.

For those reasons, this court lacks jurisdiction to entertain the appeal, a preserve of the Employment and Labour Relations Court.  I order a transfer of the appeal to the said Employment and Labour Relations Court.

Parties have filed their respective submissions on the appeal.

They will proceed to take a mention date before the Employment and Labour Relations Court Judge to take directions on the progression of the appeal.

Dated, Signed and Delivered  this 2nd Day of February 2017

JANET MULWA

JUDGE
