Evidence – Expert – Photocopies – Employee’s Right – Settlement – Car Payments – Court - Jurisdiction
An employee filed a case against a company and asked them to pay his dues, instalments for some cars and make a final settlement. The court stated it had no mandate to hear the dispute on the cars and referred it to the commercial department. The key point was that the company had refused to accept the expert's report as it had been based on photocopies of documents they denied. The court was wrong to ignore this.
