YOKTAN NYONDWI V
The Labour Court has no statutory jurisdiction to exempt a party from paying arbitral fees to the arbitrator; the only jurisdiction provided is to adjust fees if their reasonableness is challenged. The applicant's prayer is not covered by the Arbitration Act or the Employment and Labour Relations Act. The application is therefore dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
