Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant, employed as National Purchasing Coordinator by ZINWA, was suspended without pay on 26 January 2012 for alleged misconduct. A disciplinary hearing proceeded in his absence after he boycotted it, claiming the 14-day statutory period had lapsed. He was found guilty and dismissed. His appeal to the Labour Court was dismissed, and he now seeks leave to appeal that decision.
