Facts of the Case

Background

Daniel Mashinge was dismissed by a disciplinary committee and sought to appeal to the Labour Court, but filed his application for condonation of late noting of appeal approximately twelve months after receiving the Appeals Board's decision. He claimed he received incorrect legal advice and was financially incapacitated. The Labour Court found the delay inordinate, the explanation insufficient, and no prospects of success on appeal.
