Facts of the Case

Background

The applicants were retrenched by their employer who deposited money into their bank accounts. They protested the package amount but utilised the money while challenging the retrenchment process before a conciliator and arbitrator. The arbitrator found they had waived their right to challenge the retrenchment. Their appeal to Labour Court was struck off the roll for being improperly before the court. They now seek condonation for late filing of appeal.
