Background

The applicant, a self-represented litigant, sought condonation to appeal out of time against a High Court judgment that dismissed his contempt of court application. The underlying dispute involved his employment with Cold Storage Company Limited, which was terminated on notice in 2015, and his pursuit of reinstatement based on an arbitral award.
