Facts of the Case

Background

The applicant was dismissed from employment on 21 April 2011. He noted an appeal with the Works Council in October 2013, which was dismissed as out of time. The National Employment Council of the Tobacco Industry also dismissed the appeal for lateness. The applicant then approached the Labour Court for condonation of the late noting of appeal.
