KCC 82/2000

The initial dispute involved an employee who had not been paid compensation and medical expenses after a workplace injury. The case was rejected as it was filed more than an year after the termination of the employment contract.

Background

An employee made a complaint to the department of labour against an employer. He said that he was working for the employer and that he got injured in a workplace incident. He said that the employer had failed to pay him medical expenses and compensation. The department referred the case to the court. The employee requested the employer and the company pay him his entitlements and compensation. The employer filed a case against the company and another company and requested the court order them to pay the amounts.

The court ruled that the employer should pay the employee 7923 Dinars. The court dismissed the case against the third company and refused to consider the case against the second one.

The employer appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court upheld the appealed ruling.
