Timaflor Limited v Ndai

Timaflor Limited v Ndai [2025] KEELRC 1470 (KLR)

The court found that the application for review was made promptly and that no appeal had been lodged, satisfying the procedural requirements for review.

Mochama v Kenya Nut Company Limited

Mochama v Kenya Nut Company Limited [2024] KEELRC 1990 (KLR)

Rule 34 of the Employment and Labour Relations Court (Procedure) Rules, 2016, empowers the court to rectify such omissions. Since the application was unopposed and the respondent failed to respond or appear, the court granted the application and ordered that the judgment be rectified to specify the amounts due to the claimant: Kshs.26,763.00 as one month’s salary in lieu of notice and Kshs.160,578…
