Facts of the Case

Background

The applicant was discharged from the Public Service after being convicted and sentenced to imprisonment for defeating the course of justice. He served three months and four days before being granted bail pending appeal. The applicant filed an appeal alleging he was not given an opportunity to make representations before his discharge. The matter became convoluted with multiple orders issued by different judges over several years. The applicant subsequently filed an application for leave to lodge further submissions in terms of Rule 36 regarding a reserved judgment on his application for leave to appeal to the Supreme Court.
