Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant, employed for 6.5 years as Coordinator, was dismissed for allegedly insulting the Finance Manager. After unsuccessful internal appeal to Labour Court (LC/H/20/22 dismissed 11 May 2023), he failed to appeal to Supreme Court timeously, claiming he only learned of judgment 4 months later. His condonation application (LC/H/13/24) was dismissed by Registrar on 23 February 2024 for failure to file heads of argument. He now seeks reinstatement of that dismissed condonation application.
