Facts of the Case

Background

Applicant was dismissed after a disciplinary hearing on 27 June 2013. His internal appeal was dismissed on 23 July 2013. He failed to note an appeal to the Labour Court within the required 21 days, instead filing on 22 October 2013. He sought condonation claiming he was misadvised by former legal practitioners to appeal to the Insurance and Pensions Commission (IPEC) instead of the Labour Court.
