The applicant failed to file heads of argument within the 14-day period prescribed by Rule 19(1) of the Labour Court Rules, filing them approximately seven months late on 20 February 2014. The applicant blamed his former legal practitioners for the non-compliance, claiming they had assured him both appeal and review heads had been filed when only appeal heads were filed.
