#A Kenya Aviation union's appeal over a Minister's rejection of an employee grievance came before the Industrial Court, but the judgment record is incomplete.
What this practically means
#Executive summary
#This is an appeal before the Industrial Court at Nairobi, Civil Appeal 1 of 2006, in which the Aviation & Allied Workers Union appealed against an order of the Minister for Labour & Human Resource Development dated 14th September 2005 rejecting the grievance of an employee referred to as grievant S/No. 4734, with Kenya Airways Ltd joined as an interested party. The appeal was received on 1st February 2006 and directions were issued for written replies and rejoinders. On 24th March 2006 the Minister raised a Preliminary Objection to the hearing of the appeal, supported by the Interested Party's rejoinder of 12th April 2006. The appeal was heard on 18th May 2006 and judgment was delivered at Nairobi on 27th November 2007 by Charles P. Chemmuttut, sitting with Members J.M. Kilonzo and A.O. Wafula. The version of the judgment supplied is materially incomplete: the substance of the Union's leave application, the parties' submissions on the Preliminary Objection, the court's findings, the final orders and the costs order are all missing from the text. Accordingly, no holdings, orders or costs determination can be reliably extracted, and this flag is recorded for verification against the official certified copy.
