Facts of the Case

Background

The applicant sought to review a Labour Court decision concerning the dismissal of the first respondent. The Labour Court had initially made a typographical error in its judgment regarding suspension with/without pay, which it later corrected. The applicant approached the High Court for review, but the first respondent raised a preliminary objection challenging the High Court's jurisdiction to review Labour Court decisions.
