The above prayers are contained in the Statement of Claim; but
other prayers were added in the Claimant’s written submissions
without leave for amendment as required by Rule 40 of the
Court’s Rules of Procedure.
Therefore, we are bound by the
Rules in resolving the instant Claim and we will only consider
prayers contained in the Statement of the Claim.
As to whether the Claimant is entitled to remedies sought,
Counsel for the Respondent submitted that the Claimant was
legally employed with a binding initial appointment of 3 years,
with subsequent short term contracts and was provided notice of
non-renewal of contract.
Counsel for the Respondent contended that the contract duration
was specified to last at least 2 years and the Claimant was given
termination notice.
Counsel for the Respondent asserted that the Claimant had never
complained about the duration of her contract before the expiry
of the initial contract which ran from October, 2008 to June,
2010.
He finally submitted that there was no wrongful
termination and that, subsequently, the Claimant is not entitled
to any remedy.
