Facts of the Case

Background

The appellant, a Nutritionist Stock Feed employed by the respondent, was dismissed for allegedly producing poor quality stock feed and neglecting customer complaints. Her internal appeal was unsuccessful. She filed an appeal with the Labour Court (LC/H/567/24) within the prescribed time, but it was struck off for lacking precise and concise appeal grounds. She now seeks condonation for late filing of a properly worded appeal, being 21 days out of time.
