Facts of the Case

Background

The employee filed an application for condonation of late filing of a review application. The employer raised three points in limine: the draft notice of review was unsigned, the relief sought was irregular, and the matter had prescribed. The court upheld these points and dismissed the condonation application. The employee now seeks leave to appeal to the Supreme Court.
