Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant, a truck driver, was dismissed for misconduct on 12 May 2014. He bypassed the 5-day internal appeal to the CEO provided in the applicable Collective Bargaining Agreement and instead approached the Labour Court for condonation to appeal directly against the disciplinary-committee verdict. An earlier condonation application (LC/H.APP/300/14) had already been dismissed by Justice Chidziva on 9 January 2015 for failure to exhaust domestic remedies.
