The National Industrial Court sitting in Abuja has adjourned a N500m suit against Loyola Jesuit College till April 24.
At the resumed hearing of the suit filed by Mrs. Emily Amedu, the school’s former seamstress, on Wednesday, the defendant’s counsel prayed for extension of time to file his statement of defence.
The motion was granted by the judge, Justice Ebeye Isele and the case was subsequently adjourned till April 24.
The seamstress had dragged Loyola Jesuit College to court over injuries sustained while performing tasks for the school.
The suit indicated that the seamstress was asked to get uniforms from a store in the school when she fell and damaged her spinal cord.
Efforts to make the school pay the woman’s medical expenses had failed and that prompted the suit.
