The bottom line

#

A Kenyan employee's unfair termination claim against Maki Stores ended when he withdrew it, so no court decision was made on the merits.

What this practically means

#

Executive summary

#
This is a brief award of the Industrial Court at Mombasa in Cause No. 622 of 2014, a claim by George Morara Nyasani against Maki Stores over alleged unfair and unlawful termination of employment. The Claimant filed his Statement of Claim on 11th December 2014. The Respondent did not file a Statement of Response. On 9th February 2015, the advocates for the respective parties informed the Court that the claim had been withdrawn, and the Court acted on a Notice of Withdrawal filed on 22nd December 2014. The Court's entire disposition was to mark the claim as withdrawn in terms of that Notice of Withdrawal. No findings were made on the merits of the unfair termination dispute; no evidence was taken; no damages, compensation or declaratory relief was granted; and the award contains no costs order. Because the matter ended on withdrawal before any adjudication, there are no holdings of law, no authorities cited, and no determinations capable of binding application. The award is recorded as a one-paragraph decision delivered by Rika J at Mombasa on 9th February 2015, with Benjamin Kombe as Court Assistant, Mr. Anyoka appearing for the Claimant (instructed by Mburu Nyamboye & Company Advocates) and Mr. Matindi for the Respondent (instructed by Machuka & Company Advocates).
