Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant sought condonation for late noting of appeal against a disciplinary determination. His previous appeal (LCH 559/23) was struck off the roll on 23 April 2024 by Justice Chivizhe due to a fatally defective Notice of Appeal. The applicant explained the delay was due to conflicting decisions by different judges of the Labour Court regarding whether his appeal was filed on time, necessitating legal advice on the way forward.
