Facts of the Case

Background

Respondents obtained a favourable arbitral award against the applicant. The applicant's subsequent appeal was struck off for defective citation, causing them to be out of time. The applicant now seeks condonation for late filing of a proper appeal, while respondents raise procedural points regarding the applicant's failure to comply with the previous costs order and alleged "dirty hands" for not enforcing the award.
