Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant filed an appeal on 17 May 2013. The respondent responded on 5 June 2013. The applicant failed to file heads of argument within fourteen days as required by rule 19(1)(a) of the Labour Court Rules, resulting in an automatic bar under rule 19(3)(b). The applicant sought condonation for the seven-month delay, attributing it to confusion between two concurrent court processes and a lawyer's departure from the firm.
