Facts of the Case

Background

The appellant, an employee, was dismissed after a disciplinary hearing and appealed to the Managing Director, who upheld the dismissal. He then attempted to appeal to the NEC Appeals Committee but filed his appeal 7 days late. The NEC Appeals Committee advised him to seek condonation from the Labour Court, which he did. The Labour Court dismissed the application, holding it lacked jurisdiction to grant condonation for appeals before the NEC Appeals Committee.
