Facts of the Case

Background

The applicant sought leave to appeal to the Supreme Court against a Labour Court decision which upheld a point in limine that the purported appeal was not premised on any question of law. The original appeal challenged an arbitrator's decision, but the Labour Court found that the grounds of appeal were factual, not legal.
