Facts of the Case

Background

The applicant sought condonation for late filing of heads of argument in an appeal against an arbitration award and an application for interim relief. The applicant's contract with the respondent expired in 2010, but payments continued until 2012. The applicant argued the delay was due to oversight and a public holiday, while the respondent argued the delay was unexplained and the appeal lacked merit.
