Commercial And Corporate [2024] KEHC 11346 (KLR)

Maingih v Ndirangu

Maingih v Ndirangu [2024] KEHC 11346 (KLR)

The court found that the plaintiff's claim was not time barred because the cause of action accrued on 23/10/2021, the date of the last admitted payment by the defendant, thus the suit filed in 2024 was within the six-year limitation period. The court held that the defendant failed to prove payment of the sums due under the partnership dissolution deed, as only Kshs. 140,000 was substantiated. The court further determined that the land parcel No. 1568 was not included as an asset in the dissolution deed, and both parties had previously agreed to a 50:50 share, entitling the plaintiff to half t…

Onderi v Mini Bakeries (Nairobi) Limited

Onderi v Mini Bakeries (Nairobi) Limited [2024] KEELRC 1708 (KLR)

The court found that while paragraph 156 of the judgment declined the claim for pay in lieu of notice based on substantive justification for termination, paragraph 167(c) awarded all prayers admitted by the respondent as per its termination letter, which included a promise to pay two months' salary in lieu of notice. The court held that the respondent's written admission to pay two months' notice was binding and fair, and thus the claimant was entitled to two months' salary in lieu of notice, not three. The final orders reflected the respondent's admission and were not inconsistent with the c…

Chwanya v Trees for the Future Inc

Chwanya v Trees for the Future Inc [2024] KEELRC 1465 (KLR)

The court found that the claimant failed to prove constructive dismissal, as there was no evidence he resigned due to a hostile work environment. The evidence established that the claimant was on a one-year fixed term contract, not a two-year contract as alleged. The respondent's evidence, including testimony from the human resource officer and a forensic document examiner, demonstrated that the two-year contract and promotion letter produced by the claimant were not authentic and did not originate from the respondent. The claimant was notified in writing of the non-renewal of his contract, a…
