Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant was dismissed from employment with the respondent after being found guilty of misconduct. He appealed to the Labour Court, where he raised a preliminary objection that the respondent's opposing affidavit was invalid because the Acting Town Clerk who deposed to it lacked proper authorization in the form of a council resolution as required by the Urban Councils Act.
