Facts of the Case

Background

The applicants, former employees, sought leave to appeal to the Supreme Court against a Labour Court decision dismissing their leave application. The Supreme Court found the application fatally defective for multiple procedural irregularities, including failure to seek condonation for late filing and not attaching the impugned judgment, and struck the matter off the roll.
