Dungus & Ors. v.  ENL Consortium Ltd.  [2015]  60 N.L.L.R (Pt. 209) 39

On Whether  the National Industrial Court has jurisdiction over claim of an employer for destruction of his property by an employee -

        The National Industrial Court under section 245(1) of the 1999 Constitution, as amended, is given jurisdiction over all labour, employment, trade union, industrial relations, etc. causes and matters, and matters incidental thereto. In the instant case, the counterclaim of the defendant is a claim by an employer against its employees for the destruction of the employer’s goods, machines, plants and equipments while at work. This comes squarely within the jurisdiction of this Court under section 254C(1) of the 1999 Constitution, as amended. (P. 90, Paras. B-D)
