background
Facts of the Case
Background
Applicants, 37 college lecturers, sought condonation for late filing of an appeal against disciplinary convictions for participating in a "sit-in". The delay of 2.5 years arose after their original appeal was struck off the roll for improper citation of respondents. They blamed former legal practitioners but produced no explanation from them.
