Facts of the Case

Background

The applicant, former CEO of ZESA Holdings, sought condonation for late filing of a review application against a Labour Officer's ruling that his dispute had prescribed. The dispute concerned unpaid termination benefits agreed in 2015 after his position was abolished in 2006. The Labour Officer ruled the dispute prescribed as it was only referred in 2016, 7 years after arising in 2009.
