In February, last year Mr Motaung sought the court’s permission to serve Meta at its physical offices and through email.
After being served with the court papers, Meta’s parent firms will have 21 days to enter appearance.
Social media giant Meta has lost its bid to wriggle out of a suit filed by former content moderator Daniel Motaung, who claims that the multinational contributed to gross violation of their labour rights.
Justice Jacob Gakeri has allowed an application by Mr Motaung to serve Meta with the court petition at the multinational’s physical addresses in the United States of America and Ireland, and via email.
