Facts of the Case

Background

The applicant, Green Fuel (Pvt) Ltd, sought condonation for late noting of an appeal against an arbitral award. The dispute arose from the termination of employment by mutual agreement between the parties in October 2014, with disagreement over terminal benefits payable. The arbitral award was issued on 26 April 2015, but the application for condonation was only filed on 7 July 2015, over a month late.
