Peter Bob Oyoo v Attorney General [2016] KEELRC 1310 (KLR)

REPUBLIC OF KENYA

IN THE EMPLOYMENT AND LABOUR RELATIONS COURT AT NAIROBI

CAUSE NO.  1439 OF 2013

PETER BOB OYOO                                              CLAIMANT

v

THE HON. ATTORNEY GENERAL

(sued on behalf of the Ministry of State for

Provincial Administration & Internal Security)             RESPONDENT

RULING

The Claimant commenced legal proceedings against the Respondent on 6 September 2013 seeking pension arrears.

The Claimant had also filed Milimani CMCC No. 4865 of 2005 and Nairobi JR Misc. Appl. No. 209 of 2011 which were concluded.

There is nothing on the record to suggest that the Claimant has taken steps to serve the Memorandum of Claim and/or prosecute the Cause since filing.

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 3 years.

Delivered, dated and signed in Nairobi this 22nd day of April 2016.
