The about 300 staff, suing through five of their representatives namely; Tyough, Boniface Onu, Mallam Shehu Abdullahi, Maurice Dachelem and John Ikpita – had filed the appeal marked: SC/CV/739/2021, to challenge the December 4, 2020 judgment of the Court of Appeal, Kaduna division in appeal No: CA/K/135/2020.The Court of Appeal, Kaduna had in the judgment delivered by Justice Obietonbara Daniel-Kalio, set aside the earlier judgment given on November 8, 2018 in favour of the staff by Justice E.
The Court of Appeal, in its judgment, agreed with Atabo that the staff did not prove their claim to special damages to warrant the High Court to order Durbar Hotel to pay them N220million for breach of their contract of employment. It also agreed with Atabo that the staff were not entitled to the additional N50m general damages awarded against Durbar Hotel by the High Court, on the grounds that such award violated the law against double compensation for the same breach or injury.
The staff had, in their suit filed in 1999 at the High Court, claimed that shortly after the Durbar Hotel was acquired from the federal government, they were asked to go on compulsory leave from May 10, 1997 for six months to allow for the hotel’s renovation.
