Facts of the Case

Background

Air Zimbabwe sought condonation for late filing of its application for leave to appeal against a labour court judgment delivered on 11 July 2023. The applicant claimed it only learned of the judgment around 17 August 2023 due to a misdirected email and that its lawyer was on leave, resulting in the condonation application being filed on 22 September 2023.
