Facts of the Case
Background
The applicants, 30 employees, sought condonation for late filing of their application for leave to appeal against a Labour Court judgment delivered on 17 August 2012. The draft notice of appeal was filed on 11 January 2013, approximately 5 months later. The delay was attributed to communication challenges involving their trade union representative and the lead applicant.
