Facts of the Case
Background
The appellant succeeded in an unopposed labour appeal on 6 December 2023 after the respondent's opposing papers were struck out. The respondent now seeks condonation and rescission of that default judgment, claiming failure to file authority to represent the juristic person. The disciplinary proceedings had been conducted under the wrong code of conduct.
