Facts of the Case

Background

The applicant was dismissed from employment on 27 April 2021 and sought to appeal the disciplinary authority's decision. The appeal was struck off the roll for failure to attach minutes of the disciplinary proceedings as required by Rule 19(1)(b)(ii) and (iii). The applicant now seeks condonation for late filing of the appeal, arguing that the respondent failed to provide the required minutes.
