background
Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant employee sought condonation for late noting of an appeal against a designated agent’s decision. He had mistakenly pursued a review application instead of an appeal, losing a year in the process. The employer opposed the application, arguing the ruling was by a designated agent, not a labour officer, and that the appeal would be academic in light of Isoquant CCZ 6/20.
