KCC 42/2003

This case involved a claim by an employee for their dues. It was wrongly argued a final settlement had been agreed on the retirement grant. This was not the case as the final settlement had not included the retirement grant.

Background

An employee made a complaint against a company and requested the Labour Department to order the company to pay his dues. The department referred the case to the court.

The court ruled the company should pay the employee 5035.900 Dinars.

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

Decision

The company appealed the ruling before the court of cassation and stated in its grounds of appeal that the ruling had insufficient evidence of causation and that the court had rejected its argument that the employee had signed a final settlement on a retirement grant.

The court stated this argument was invalid because the court found that the final settlement the company provided did not include the disputed retirement grant.

The court dismissed the appeal.
