Facts of the Case
Background
The respondent filed an appeal against an arbitral award on 11 February 2015 and served it on the applicants on 5 March 2015. The applicants failed to file their notice of response within the 14-day period prescribed by Rule 15(2) of the Labour Court Rules. They applied for condonation almost 12 months later, on 18 January 2016, attributing the delay to confusion over two arbitral awards, their lawyer's absence, and a misplaced file.
