Knight Kavulani Kayegeli v Karim Manji [2016] KEELRC 1330 (KLR)

REPUBLIC OF KENYA

IN THE EMPLOYMENT AND LABOUR RELATIONS COURT AT NAIROBI

CAUSE NO.   394 OF 2012

KNIGHT KAVULANI KAYEGELI                                              CLAIMANT

v

KARIM MANJI                                                                     RESPONDENT

RULING

The Claimant commenced legal proceedings against the Respondents on 12 March 2012 alleging unlawful termination of employment.

There is nothing on the record to suggest that the Claimant has taken steps to prosecute the Cause since 19 February 2013 when the Cause was last in Court.

As a way to deal with the backlog in the Court’s Nairobi registry, the Deputy Registrar notified the public through online and newspaper notices of a service week running from 18 April 2016 to 22 April 2016.

Specific hearing notices were also sent to the litigants and or their Advocates.

When this Cause was called out for hearing, there was no appearance/representation for the parties.

The Court therefore orders that this Cause be dismissed for non-attendance and non-prosecution as no steps have been taken for over 5 years.

Delivered, dated and signed in Nairobi this 20th day of April 2016.
