Mureu v Ressourcethica Kenya Limited [2025] KEELRC 1912 (KLR)
The court found that the claimant was terminated by way of redundancy through a letter dated 17th January 2023, which was unequivocal and final, leaving no room for negotiation or mutual separation. The respondent failed to prove that the redundancy was substantively justified, as there was no evidence of actual restructuring or abolition of the claimant's position.

Wambugu v CMC Motors Group Limited & another [2025] KEELRC 2092 (KLR)
The court found that although the Respondents provided financial records to justify redundancy, the subsequent recruitment for a similar position undermined the genuineness of the redundancy. The Respondents failed to demonstrate a fair selection criterion as required by law, and the redundancy was both procedurally and substantively flawed. The Claimant’s termination was therefore wrongful, unfair, and unlawful. The Claimant was entitled to compensation for unlawful termination and severance pay. Claims for school fees and club subscriptions were dismissed for lack of contractual obligation…
