4. Successfully advised Kilimall International Limited and developed jurisprudence in MILIMANI HCCA/E940/2024 – Kilimall International Limited v Mandela Gichini Wanjiru & Esther Wairimu Ngatia, where the central issue was whether the Appellant’s claim constituted an employment dispute within the exclusive jurisdiction of the ELRC or a civil recovery claim properly before the Small Claims Court; the Court upheld the jurisdiction of the Small Claims Court in a claim for recovery of losses arising from alleged employee fraud.
