Facts of the Case

Background

The applicant, a former forecourt attendant, was dismissed for tampering with company records relating to fuel pump readings. After unsuccessful internal appeals, he attempted to file a review application with the Labour Court but was out of time. He sought condonation for the late filing, which was initially granted, but his review application was struck off for having unclear grounds. He now seeks condonation for the late filing of his review application.
