Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant, former City Architect for the respondent, was dismissed on 3 July 2019 for gross incompetency. He challenged the dismissal through a labour officer, but the Labour Court struck the confirmation application off the roll on 7 November 2022 for want of jurisdiction. He filed the present condonation application on 30 March 2023, over three years after dismissal.
