Tea pickers have been allowed to continue with a Scottish court claim against James Finlay Kenya Ltd.
A Scottish court has ruled that a group of Kenyan farm workers can continue with a multi-million pound damages case against a major global tea firm.
The company had argued it has no connection to Scotland, other than its historical registered address, and that the claims should be dealt with in Kenya.However lawyers for the employees believe that because the firm is registered in Scotland, the Court of Session can deal with the matter. It operates on five continents and can trace its origins back to James Finlay, a cotton merchant who founded the business in Scotland in 1750.Many of the workers claim they suffered "musculoskeletal injuries" because of working conditions at JFK.
