Exclusivity of Jurisdiction by the Industrial Court to Hear Industrial Disputes

Reported by Cornelius W. Lupao

Labour Law – industrial disputes-right forum to adjudicate over industrial disputes- whether a magistrate's court can adjudicate over an industrial dispute- Labour Institutions Act, section 12.

Civil Practice and Procedure – transfer of suits-application seeking transfer of a suit from a court without jurisdiction to a court of competent jurisdiction-where the suit involved an industrial dispute but filed in a magistrate's court

Issues:

Can a High Court direct the transfer of a suit filed before a Magistrate court to the Industrial Court?
Which court has exclusive jurisdiction to hear industrial disputes?

Labour Institutions Act, section 12. “The Industrial Court shall have exclusive jurisdiction to hear, determine and grant any appropriate relief in respect of an application, claim or complaint or infringement of any provisions of this Act or any other legislation which extends jurisdiction to the Industrial Court or in respect of any matter which may arise at common law between an employer and employee in the course of employment, between employee and employer’s Organization and a trade union or between a trade union, an employer’s organization, a federal and a member thereof”.

Held:

The law gives exclusive jurisdiction to the Industrial Court to hear and determine all industrial related matters. It is therefore wrong for other courts at the instigation of litigants to take away or attempt to share jurisdiction with the Industrial Court.
For the High Court to order transfer of a suit form one court to another, the matter should first, be before a court of competent with jurisdiction. If the matter was filed in a court without jurisdiction, then the suit is a nullity and there is nothing capable of being transferred.
