Facts of the Case

Background

The applicant, an accountant employed by the respondent, was dismissed for misconduct following a disciplinary hearing on 2 August 2018. The parties pursued proceedings before a labour officer and the Labour Court, but these were set aside following the Supreme Court decision in Sakarombe v Montana Carswell Meats which clarified that labour officers lack jurisdiction over workplace disciplinary matters. The applicant now seeks condonation to note a late appeal against the original disciplinary determination.
