IMIRONGO CoA - Nzeri 2023 - Booklet#10

Court
Court of Appeal

The accident suffered by MULINDAHABI FĂ©lix did not qualify as a workplace accident because he was not traveling between his regular residence and workplace on a work assignment paid for by the employer, nor was there evidence that the journey was employer-mandated. Therefore, liability rests with the vehicle insurer (SANLAM AG Plc), not the social security fund (RSSB).

ESETRA Ltd v HATEGEKIMANA NABANDI

Court
High Court
Case number
RCA 00044/2022/HC/NYZ

ESETRA Ltd is liable for the death of Habimana Viateur because the accident occurred in its mine, which it operated and controlled, and the company failed to rebut evidence that the accident resulted from its failure to observe safety standards. Liability attaches regardless of direct employment status or explicit admission, based on the principle that a person is responsible for harm caused by things under their care. The trial court's award of damages to the mother and siblings is upheld, with a minor adjustment to the amount for legal costs on appeal.
