CAUSE NO. 625 OF 2010
WILSON O. OWAGA CLAIMANT
v
APOSTLES OF JESUS GENERALATE RESPONDENT
RULING
The Claimant commenced legal proceedings against the Respondents on 4 June 2010 alleging unfair termination of employment.
There is nothing on the record to suggest that the Claimant has taken steps to prosecute the Cause since 21 July 2010.
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 the Cause was called out on 18 April 2016, Mr. Kahabahati for the Claimant indicated that he would be ready to proceed on 20 April 2016.
The Court also directed him to furnish the Court with missing documentation in the file.
When this Cause was called out for hearing on 20 April 2016, 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.
