Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant's employment claims were dismissed by an arbitrator in December 2024. Her appeal was struck off in February 2025, leading to a condonation application that was deemed abandoned when her lawyer failed to file heads of argument on time. She then applied for reinstatement of the abandoned matter.
