Facts of the Case

Background

The Applicant, a Designated Agent for the Employment Council for Commercial Sectors of Zimbabwe, issued a draft ruling on 3 June 2019 in a dispute between the 1st and 2nd Respondents regarding non-payment of salaries and terminal benefits. The Applicant failed to lodge the application for confirmation within the stipulated timeframe and now seeks condonation for the late filing. The 1st Respondent opposes the application on the basis that the Applicant lacks locus standi and that the application is procedurally defective.
