Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant sought condonation for late filing of a cross-appeal after his legal practitioner failed to electronically file it due to unfamiliarity with the Integrated Electronic Case Management System (IECMS). The cross-appeal related to the High Court's failure to rule on his counter-application in a lease dispute.
