An employee of a Scottish tea company has been accused of attempting to run over a Kenyan farm worker suing the firm for damages. Current and ex-employees of James Finlay Kenya Ltd say they suffered injuries while working on the firm's farms in Kenya.
Mr Smith said the worker managed to jump into bushes, before the driver "told him he was being targeted because he was suing JKFL".
He told the court that "something of an altercation took place" and the security team's mobile phones were "confiscated"."There's the most gross intimidation taking place of those who are suing JFKL and they are being targeted because they are suing JFKL," said Mr Smith. It is the latest exchange of fire in an increasingly complicated legal battle being fought in courts in Scotland and Kenya.
