Facts of the Case

Background

The applicant, who had been employed on continuously renewed fixed term contracts by the Municipality of Marondera, sought condonation for late noting of an appeal against an arbitral award. The applicant argued that the arbitrator erred in finding that the issue of his employment status was not before him and that his fixed term contract had graduated into a permanent contract through continuous renewals.
