background
Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant sought condonation to appeal a Labour Court decision regarding payment of arrear salary and benefits in US dollars. The applicant argued for payment at a one-to-one parity rate, but the court found the claim accrued after the effective date of SI 33 of 2019, making the interbank rate applicable. The condonation application was dismissed due to an unreasonable explanation for the delay and lack of prospects of success.
