#JustIn: Court to decide on costs in case against truck drivers

Tomorrow the court will deliver a verdict regarding the costs for the urgent application brought by Nel Sel-transport against 34 of its truck drivers during a strike in February of this year.The court has already issued an interim interdict preventing protesters from blocking entrances and impeding the business&#039;s operations.The issue that the High Court in Windhoek must now decide is whether the employees and the transport union acted in a reasonable or unreasonable manner. If so, a cost order will follow.While the respondents argue that they did not act in such a way, Nel Snel-transport claims that the union and the involved employees did not make an effort to find a solution to the problem at the time, and therefore Nel Snel-transport allegedly had no other choice but to approach the court on an urgent basis and obtain an interdict.The protesting truck drivers allegedly prevented trucks from entering or leaving the business&#039;s depot in Windhoek during the strike. This led to four trucks being unable to make their deliveries on time.In court documents, Nel Snel-transport argued that this could not only lead to claims for damages by its clients and an impact on transport contracts but also caused a detrimental impact on its reputation.
