Litigation Procedures – Employment Case – Expert – Evidence - Court
This case involved a claim by an employee for an expert to be appointed to calculate his dues. It was wrongly claimed the employee had not followed the correct procedures. However, the employee had previously made a complaint to the labour department but the court had failed to respond to all his requests at that time so he was able to file another case directly with the court as these matters were different.
Background
An employee filed a case against a company and requested the court to appoint an expert to calculate his dues and order the company to pay them.
The court rejected the case because the employee had not followed legal procedures when filing the case.
The employee appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court upheld the appealed ruling.
