KCC 63/2010

This case involved a claim by an employee for unpaid salary. The court had been wrong to reject a request for an investigation as the parties had the right to prove their claims by legal methods of proof.

Background

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

The court rejected the case.

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

Decision

The employee appealed the ruling before the court of cassation and stated in his grounds of appeal that the ruling had violated the right of defence because the court had rejected his request to refer it to investigation although he could bring his witnesses and prove his claims.

The court stated this argument was valid because the claimant/defendant had the right to prove their claims through the methods of legal proof.

The court repealed the ruling.
