Facts of the Case

Background

The applicant was employed as a management trainee and was dismissed before completing the 18-month training programme. An arbitrator found the dismissal unfair and ordered reinstatement or damages. After quantification of damages at US$6,558, the applicant initially sought registration for enforcement but later withdrew and now seeks condonation to appeal against the quantification award.
