Facts of the Case

Background

The respondents were dismissed from employment by the applicant. They applied for review in the Labour Court, which set aside their dismissal. The applicant sought leave to appeal to the Supreme Court, which was refused by the Labour Court. The applicant then filed a chamber application for condonation of late filing of an application for leave to appeal under Rule 61, which the Supreme Court found to be procedurally incorrect.
