The court held that in considering the motion for interlocutory injunction by the claimants,   after hearing from both counsels, it has reserved November 30,2023 for the ruling.

The court further held thus: ” Considering the court’ s duty to ensure that Labour dispute and related disagreements between the parties are not allowed to escalate and adversely affect the interests and well-being of the citizenry and third parties who are not involved in the Labour dispute already submitted for adjudication  in the pending suit in the court”, it was necessary for the parties to hold the peace till the next adjourned date.
